Thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) manufacturer Strohm, and provider of subsea connection systems UNITECH Offshore have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop and commercialize an integrated system for the transportation of fluids and gases.
Under the MoU, the two companies are creating a subsea, end-to-end jumper connection solution without flange which reduces the risk of leaks and simplifies the installation process.
UNITECH’s connector will be integrated with Strohm’s TCP end-fitting, creating a flange-less interface.
“By joining forces with UNITECH Offshore, we develop an integrated system that not only simplifies installation, but also ensures long-lasting flange-less performance in the most challenging conditions,” said Martin van Onna, Strohm’s CEO.
“This collaboration underscores our commitment to advancing subsea connectivity with engineered simplicity.
“By integrating our robust, installation-friendly UH-500 Series connector with Strohm’s thermoplastic composite pipe, we are providing a seamless, flange-less system that further enhances installation efficiency while ensuring reliable, high-pressure performance across a wide range of subsea applications,” added Frode Hellesøe, CEO of UNITECH Offshore.
