Abstract: A mechanically lined pipe including a host pipe having an inner surface which is lined with a metallic liner, the metallic liner having an inner surface which is lined with a polymer liner which presses the metallic liner against the inner surface of the host pipe, as well as to methods of reeling and unreeling the mechanically lined pipe. A method of making a mechanically lined pipe having an internal polymer liner, the mechanically lined pipe including a host pipe having an inner surface which is lined with a metallic liner, the method including the steps of: (a) providing a mechanically lined pipe having an internal diameter, (b) providing a polymer liner having an outer diameter which is greater than the internal diameter of the mechanically liner pipe, (c) reducing the outer diameter of the polymer liner such that it is less than the internal diameter of the mechanically liner pipe, (d) inserting the polymer liner into the mechanically lined pipe, and (e) allowing the polymer liner to expand such that it presses the metallic liner against the inner surface of the host pipe.
