Abstract
A sealed and thermally insulating tank having a sealing membrane, a thermal insulation barrier, and a reinforcing piece for reinforcing the sealing membrane against the pressure of the fluid contained in the tank. The thermal insulation barrier has a groove parallel to the longitudinal direction of the corrugation, and the reinforcing piece has a retaining rib engaged in the groove, the retaining rib forming a lug extending in the groove beyond a longitudinal end of the main body in the longitudinal direction of the corrugation. A stop element attached to the thermal insulation barrier stops the reinforcing piece in the longitudinal direction of the corrugation in a first direction and cooperates with the lug to stop the reinforcing piece in a direction moving away from the support surface.
