When manufacturing a low-temperature tank (), a plurality of unit tanks () that are able to be connected together by mutually different objects, and that are each capable of storing low-temperature liquefied gas are manufactured in a factory that is distant from a construction site. The unit tanks () are then transported to the construction site, and an inner tank () is then assembled at the construction site by connecting together the plurality of unit tanks (). An outer tank () is then formed around the inner tank ().

Method for constructing low-temperature tank and low-temperature tank

There is provided a method for constructing a cylindrical tank, including the step of assembling a metal inner tank by individually and sequentially conducting, on an internal side of a PC wall, raising of an inner tank lateral plate by a jack-up unit and welding of a next-stage inner tank lateral plate onto a lower section of the raised inner tank lateral plate, further including the step of installing a guide pair configured to sandwich the raised inner tank lateral plate onto the next-stage inner tank lateral plate that is to be welded therebeneath. As a result, in the case of adopting the jack-up construction system, it is possible to prevent an inner tank lateral plate from being attached next from falling.
