- the primary insulating barrier comprises a set of rigid plates which are held by means of the welding supports of the secondary waterproof membrane.
- the primary waterproof membrane is formed by an assembly of rectangular sheets having corrugations in two perpendicular directions, said sheets being welded together and overlapped by their edges on metal strips fixed in rabbets along edges of the plates of the primary insulating barrier.
- One idea underlying the invention is to provide a tank wall cumulating the advantages of a secondary membrane formed of parallel strakes, whose robustness has been proven by experience, and a corrugated primary membrane, which can have a very good resistance to accidental indentations and other stresses, resulting for example from the thermal contraction, the movements of the cargo and / or the deformation of the beam to the sea.
- Another idea underlying the invention is to provide a tank wall that is relatively easy to manufacture and that allow to use different types of corrugated waterproof membranes as primary membrane.

- the primary rows are shifted in the second direction of a fraction, for example by half, of the size of the repeated pattern of the secondary rows relative to the secondary rows.
- Another advantage of shifting the primary rows in the first and / or second direction is to obtain a more even distribution of the forces passing through the membranes and the primary insulation and affecting the secondary insulating panels and the supporting wall. Indeed, in this case, an effort The pressure exerted on a primary insulation board is distributed over several, for example two or four, underlying secondary insulating panels.

- the repeated pattern size of the primary rows is an integer multiple of said first regular spacing.
- a repeating pattern having a plurality of corrugations means that the spacing of the corrugations is not necessarily regular, but that all the spacings repeat at a regular interval, called the size of the repeated pattern of the corrugations.
- the rows of sheets are shifted in the second direction relative to the primary rows so that the junctions welded between the rows of sheets are located at a distance from the interfaces between the primary rows, that is to say in particular with respect to distance of the retainers.
- the joints welded between the rows of sheets of the primary waterproof membrane can be essentially made away from the edges of the primary insulating panels parallel to the first direction, and therefore on a surface having a high level of flatness. This results in a lower risk of local variation of the welds and a higher level of quality of the membrane obtained.
- such a tank may have one or more of the following characteristics.
- a primary row comprises a plurality of parallelepipedic primary insulating panels juxtaposed in a repeated pattern and a row of sheets of the primary waterproof membrane comprises a plurality of rectangular sheets juxtaposed in a repeated pattern, the dimension of the repeated pattern of rectangular sheets being equal to an integer multiple of the dimension of the repeated pattern of the primary insulating boards in the first direction.

- the primary insulating panels and / or the secondary insulating panels have a square shape.
- the repeated pattern of the primary rows and / or the repeated pattern of the secondary rows may or may not have a gap in the second direction. If there is a gap between two rows, the dimension of the repeated pattern is equal to the sum of the size of the primary or secondary insulation board and the dimension of the gap.
- the repeated pattern of primary or secondary insulating panels within a primary or secondary row may or may not have a gap in the first direction. If there is a gap between two primary or secondary insulating panels, the dimension of the repeated pattern is equal to the sum of the primary or secondary insulation board size and the gap size.
- the dimension of a strake in the second direction is an integer multiple of said first regular spacing.
- the primary waterproof membrane also has second corrugations parallel to the second direction and arranged in a repeated pattern in the first direction, the planar portions being located between the first corrugations and between the second corrugations.
- the repeated pattern of the second undulations may be a repeating pattern having one or more corrugations.
- a repeating pattern having a single corrugation means that the second corrugations are spaced apart by a second regular spacing in the first direction. In this case, the second regular spacing may be equal to or different from the first regular spacing.
- a Repeated pattern with multiple undulations means that the spacing of the corrugations is not necessarily regular, but that all the spacings repeat at a regular interval, called the size of the repeated pattern of the corrugations.
- the first and second undulations may be continuous or discontinuous at the intersections between first and second undulations. Thanks to continuous corrugations, it is possible to produce continuous channels, for example for the circulation of a neutral gas, between the primary waterproof membrane and the primary insulating barrier. Thanks to discontinuous waves, it is easier to form the sheet by stamping.
- the size of the repeated pattern of the primary insulating panels is an integer multiple of the dimension of the repeated pattern of the second undulations, for example an integer multiple of said second regular spacing.
