Our flexible joints connect catenary risers that extend from platforms to subsea pipelines. They are tailor-designed to the floater and risers relative dynamics, as well as the flaw characteristics. They allow the riser critical top section to resist the fatigue loads along the platform lifetime .
Hutchinson provides as well the interfaces structures that will receive the flexible joints along or inside the floater. These tailor made structures are adapted to the installation procedures and the floater architecture.

Flexible Joints for Risers
Our Flexible Joints connect catenary risers that extend from platforms to subsea pipelines. They are tailor-designed to the floater and risers relative dynamics, as well as the flaw characteristics.
Connectors for tension leg platforms
Our highly-resistant Connectors for tension leg platforms allow for mooring of TLP floaters to driven pile foundations.
Antivibration Mounts
Our Antivibration Mounts are installed on many platforms worldwide. They dampen vibrations and compensate equipment and support relative deformations, even at higher temperatures.
Floatover components
Fore over 20 years we’ve been pioneering shock absorbers for Floatover operations. Today, our Components are the most widely used andhave broken all capacity records : up to 10000 mt per cell with more than 500 mm stroke.
Self-latching connectors
Our Self-Latching Connectors have been developed to connect and articulate hybrid risers. They ensure safe and reliable moorings in more than 1,500 meters of water without any assistance.
Pipe Couplings
Our Pipe Couplings can be used to connect and seal tubular components such as risers, flowlines or tendons. With diameters as large as one meter, they’re a cost-effective alternative to offshore welds.
