Abstract: A tank includes a secondary insulation barrier, a secondary sealing membrane resting on the secondary insulation barrier, a primary insulation barrier resting on the secondary sealing membrane, a primary sealing membrane resting on the primary insulation barrier, and a primary reinforcing member. The primary sealing membrane includes primary corrugations and the secondary sealing membrane includes secondary corrugations projecting toward the interior of the tank. The primary and secondary corrugations are superimposed along a thickness direction. The primary insulation barrier has passages, and the secondary corrugations are accommodated in the passages. A dimension of the primary insulation barrier is less than a dimension of the secondary corrugations along the thickness direction, so the secondary corrugations extend through the passages and are partially accommodated in the primary corrugations. The primary reinforcing member is interposed along the thickness direction between superimposed primary and secondary corrugations so as to reinforce the primary corrugation.

Abstract: A Sealed and thermally insulated tank has a tank wall on a carrier structure. The tank wall has an insulating barrier, sealed barrier and an anchoring member. The sealed barrier has a first undulating metal membrane and a second undulating metal membrane which are located at one side and the other of the anchoring member, along an assembly edge which is oriented parallel with a longitudinal direction of the anchoring member. The first and the second membrane undulate with a first series of undulations which intersect with the assembly edge Terminal undulation portions which are associated with the first series of undulations of the first membrane extend in a direction transverse to the assembly edge in the direction of the second membrane, beyond the terminal undulation portions which are associated with the first series of undulations of the second membrane.

Abstract: A sealed and thermally insulating tank wherein the distance between two adjacent corrugations of the corrugated metal sheets of the sealing membrane is equal to a predetermined corrugation interval io, the sealing membrane comprising, around a through-element: two notched rectangular metal plates 3io wide in the first direction and 7io long in the second direction, which are symmetrical to one another, each notched rectangular metal plate having three outer edges disposed in line with a plurality of anchor plates and welded onto the first plurality of anchor plates and an inner edge having a notch formed to avoid cutting a square window through which the through-element passes, and two metal retrofit plates disposed between the non-notched portions of the inner edges of the two notched rectangular metal plates.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sealed and thermally insulating tank for storing a fluid, said sealed tank comprising an outer support structure, a thermal insulating barrier retained on the support structure, and a sealing barrier supported by the thermal insulating barrier. In one embodiment, the thermal insulating barrier comprises a corner structure positioned at an intersection between a first and a second wall of the support structure, the corner structure comprising a first and a second insulating panel, each having an outer surface positioned facing the support structure, an inner surface provided with a member for securing the sealing membrane, and lateral edges, the first panel having an outer surface resting against the first wall of the support structure and a lateral edge resting against the second wall of the support structure, the second panel having an outer surface resting against the second wall of the support structure and a lateral edge resting against the outer surface of the first panel.
