Abstract: A sealed and thermally insulating tank incorporated in a supporting structure (2), the tank including at least one inclined tank wall (1) forming an angle with a horizontal direction and fixed to a supporting wall of the supporting structure (2) is disclosed. The tank wall (1) has a multilayer structure including successively, in the direction of thickness from the outside to the inside of the tank, a thermally insulating barrier (3) held against the corresponding supporting wall and a sealed membrane (4) carried by the thermally insulating barrier (3). The tank includes sealed strips (15) in the space formed between the thermally insulating barrier (3) and the supporting wall.

Abstract: A sealed and thermally insulating tank for transporting and/or storing liquefied natural gas includes a load-bearing structure and a storage structure surrounded by the load-bearing structure. The storage structure includes a first portion and a second portion that are sealed with respect to one another, the first portion and the second portion extending in one and the same plane which is parallel to the load-bearing structure. The tank includes a closure device arranged in the thickness of the storage structure. The closure device includes a first closure member and a second closure member that cooperate with one another to separate the first portion from second portion. One of the closure members includes a first part and a second part that extend in intersecting planes. One of the parts is connected to one of the portions by a fastening device that is arranged in the thickness of the storage structure.

Abstract: A securing device for securing a pipe in a housing, which has a cylindrical collar, at least three securing arms, each securing arm containing a proximal arm portion mounted on the cylindrical collar, a distal arm portion bearing a bearing pad, the bearing pad containing a bearing surface facing away from the collar and intended to collaborate with a wall of the housing in which at least one of the securing arms contains a guideway capable of translationally guiding the distal arm portion with respect to the proximal arm portion, an elastic member being coupled to the guideway so as to be able to apply a return force that pushes the distal arm portion away from the proximal arm portion.
