Abstract: Sealed and thermally insulating tank comprising a sealed membrane and a thermally insulating barrier with insulating blocks comprising cover panels, the sealed membrane being made up of a corrugated metal membrane comprising a series of parallel corrugations and flat portions between the corrugations and resting on the cover panels, wherein an insulating block is twice the pitch of the corrugations, meaning that a series of corrugations comprises two corrugations situated in line with one insulating block, and wherein the flat portions of the sealed membrane are arranged in line with an internal area of the cover panels, the sealed membrane being fixed to the thermally insulating barrier by fixing the flat portions of the sealed membrane to the insulating blocks in the internal area of the cover panels.

Abstract: A sealed and thermally insulated tank for storage of a fluid, having a plurality of multilayer walls. A first of the walls has a secondary thermally insulating barrier including a first insulating panel along the intersection between the load-bearing structure of first wall and the load-bearing structure of an adjacent second wall. A second insulating panel is juxtaposed with the first insulating panel along one edge of the first panel opposing the second wall. The first wall has a secondary sealing membrane including a first corrugated metal sheet welded to a small metal plate of the first insulating panel; and a second corrugated metal sheet welded to the small metal plate of the second insulating panel. The first metal sheet and the second metal sheet are welded together via a joggled edge permitting the first and the second metal sheets to be lap welded to one another.

Abstract: The invention concerns a sealed tank including adjacent first and second walls each comprising a corrugated sealing membrane; the sealing membranes of the first and second walls join at the level of an edge; the sealing membrane of the first wall including a first series of corrugations and a second series of corrugations intersecting at the edge; the sealing membrane of the second wall including a third series of corrugations intersecting at the edge; the tank further including a corner arrangement comprising a sealing membrane that is welded in sealed manner to the sealing membrane of the first wall and to the sealing membrane of the second wall and is such that the corrugations of the first series of corrugations are connected to corrugations of the third series of corrugations and the corrugations of the second series of corrugations are connected to the corrugations of the third series of corrugations.

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.
