The invention concerns a seafloor-surface connecting installation for a
submarine pipeline (10) set on the seafloor, in particular at great
depth, of the hybrid-tower type comprising a static base (13-18) set on
the seabed. In the inventive installation: 1) said vertical riser
includes a terminal pipe portion (5.sub.1), and a flexible joint (19)
which allows angular movements (.alpha.) of the upper part (5.sub.2)
relative to said terminal pipe portion (5.sub.1); and 2) the terminal
part (11) of said pipe resting on the seabed has a an elbow-type terminal
curvature; 3) said terminal portion (5.sub.1) of the vertical riser is
connected to said terminal curvature (11) by a single connecting element;
and 4) said base plate (13-18) rigidly maintains in fixed vertical
position and linked to each other via said connecting element (12): said
terminal pipe portion (5.sub.1) and said elbow-type terminal curvature
(12) the latter facing upwards.
