The invention relates to a sealed and thermally insulating tank wall comprising a thermally insulating barrier defining a support surface for a sealing membrane, the thermally insulating barrier comprising two adjacent insulating panels jointly delimiting an inter-panel space, the tank wall further comprising an insulating insert arranged in the inter-panel space so as to fill the inter-panel space, the insulating insert comprising an insulating core at least partially covered by a wrapper, the insulating core comprising layered glass wool, the layered glass wool comprising laps of fibers superposed in a direction of layering, the insulating insert being arranged in the inter-panel space in such a way that the direction of layering of the layered glass wool is parallel to a widthwise direction of the inter-panel space.

Sealed and thermally insulating tank having inter-panel insulating inserts

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a sealed and thermally insulating tank wall comprising:

Method for manufacturing a wall of a sealed and thermally insulating tank having inter-panel insulating inserts

A sealed and thermally insulating tank including a thermally insulating barrier suitable for being anchored to a load-bearing structure is disclosed. The thermally insulating barrier including a plurality of insulating panels juxtaposed in a regular pattern, two adjacent insulating panels defining an inter-panel space, the inter-panel space including an outer portion and an inner portion superposed in the direction of the thickness of the thermally insulating barrier, the outer portion being suitable for being situated close to the load-bearing structure and the inner portion being close to the inside of the tank, the tank further including insulating seals, the insulating seals including two outer insulating seals, the said outer insulating seals being arranged juxtaposed in the outer portion of the inter-panel space so that they have two adjacent edges, and an inner insulating seal, the inner insulating seal being arranged in the inner portion of the inter-panel space.

Sealed and thermally insulating tank having anti-convection insulating seals

The invention relates to a fluid storage facility, the storage facility comprising a supporting structure () and a tank, the tank having at least one tank bottom wall fixed to the supporting structure (), wherein the bottom wall has a structure with multiple layers superimposed in a direction of thickness, including at least one sealing membrane and at least one thermal insulation barrier arranged between the sealing membrane and the supporting structure (), wherein the bottom wall has a sump structure () having a rigid container () comprising a side wall (), the container () being arranged through the thickness of the bottom wall, and the sump structure () comprising at least one fixing means () designed to fix the rigid container () to the supporting structure () at a fixing point,and wherein the at least one fixing means () is configured to allow the relative movement of the side wall () of the container () with respect to the supporting structure () in a transverse direction perpendicular to the side wall () at the fixing point of the container ().
