A monolithic pipe cap assembly, and method of production, is described. The monolithic pipe cap assembly comprising a unitary body, a connector integrally formed at a proximal end of the unitary body and a pipe cap integrally formed at a distal end of the unitary body. As no welds are required in the formation of the monolithic pipe cap assemblies there is a significant reduction in the associated production time and a reduced risk of imperfections being formed when compared with the fabricated pipe cap assemblies known in the art. This results in a reduced risk of failure of the monolithic pipe cap assembly when deployed in the field. Connecting the monolithic pipe cap assembly to the section of pipeline is also significantly quicker since this process only requires the employment of a single weld that can be fully inspected prior to operational use.
