A method of lining a water caisson 100 offshore featuring the following steps. Providing a woven sock 110 having an outer diameter, which is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the caisson 100, when expanded radially. Providing a matrix to the sock 110 and locating the sock 110 and the matrix inside the bore of the caisson 100. Providing expansion means 130 inside the sock 110, which radially expand a length of the sock 110 within the caisson 100 and retain the sock 110 in compression against an inner wall of the caisson 100, during curing of the matrix. After curing of the matrix, removing the expansion 130 means to leave the sock 110 and matrix in place as a composite liner for the water caisson 100. In other embodiments the caisson 100 can have a metallic outer shell, or instead there is provided a method of strengthening a hollow member such as a pipe. In other embodiments, the pipe can comprise a metallic shell. Optionally, the matrix is an epoxy resin. Optionally, the expansion means features an inflatable tube 130 and is inflated using a pressurised fluid.
