Abstract: An elongate article, such as a pump power cable, is secured to a flexible hose, for example a layflat well riser hose, by providing the hose with integral support means such as a longitudinally extending rib and providing tie means to extend from the support means around at least part of the periphery of the hose to support the elongate article relative to the hose at a position which is remote from the support means. Preferably the elongate article is secured to the hose by a spaced series of tie means each arranged to encircle individually the hose and elongate article in a figure 8 configuration, with the elongate article lying diametrically opposite the support means.
