Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of sealed and insulating vessels which may contain cold fluids, in particular tanks for storing or transporting liquefied gases, in particular liquefied natural gas at atmospheric pressure.
- FR-A-278 557 is known, in particular, a sealed and insulating tank comprising a vessel wall fixed to a supporting structure, in which the wall of the vessel has a multilayer structure which successively comprises a primary waterproofing membrane intended to be in contact with a product contained in the tank, a primary insulating barrier, a secondary waterproofing membrane and a secondary insulating barrier.
