  • the external enclosure 2 has the form of a thick and substantially sealed wall, with which the covering dome 3 is advantageously made of one piece, so that they constitute, with the bottom slab 4, the rigid structure of the corresponding tank 1.
  • the external enclosure 2 it is possible, and often advantageous, to provide for the external enclosure 2 to extend deep into the ground as close to a substantially impermeable layer SI thereof, so that infiltration d water inside the cavity defined by the reservoir 1 are greatly minimized.
  • the enclosure 2 projects positively inside the naturally impermeable layer SI of the ground.
  • the forces produced by the water contained in the soil S and having a tendency to raise the slab 4 are greatly reduced.
  • the tank 1 is of simpler constitution and requires much less material for its manufacture, than equivalent tanks of the prior art.
  • the thickness (and therefore the mass) of this bottom slab 4 can also be minimized. As seen in the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, the bottom slab 4 even has a thickness less than that of the external enclosure 2.
  • the thickness of the external enclosure 2 can be of the order of 2.20 m and that of the bottom slab only about 1 m.

  • this bottom slab 4 has the form of a reinforced concrete slab which rests freely on the one hand against one or more stops integral with the enclosure 2, and on the other hand on a drainage system 6.
  • the periphery of the bottom raft 4 is supported without embedding on a stop 24 in the form of an annular console, integrated into the enclosure 2.

  • the tank 1 is provided with a device for keeping frost-free of its concrete elements.
  • This device comprises on the one hand conduits 64 (FIG. 2) for circulation of a hot fluid, such as for example water, provided under the bottom slab 4, that is to say inside the second slab 6, and on the other hand conventional electric heating cables 28 (FIG. 2), arranged in galvanized steel tubes, themselves embedded in the concrete of the external enclosure 2 substantially up to the level of the slab 4.
  • the enclosure 2 is made of reinforced concrete and molded directly in soil S.
  • this enclosure 2 is produced by digging in the ground S a trench of corresponding shape, then by molding a concrete of suitable composition in the trench, after having placed there reinforcement cages as well as the heating cables 28.
  • a wall can, for example, be obtained using equipment of the type designated by the name "Hydrofraise” and developed by the Soletanche Company. This type of equipment makes it possible to manufacture concrete walls from 70 to 80 m deep, under conditions and with very precise dimensional tolerances (approximately 1 per 1000).
  • a coating or sealing facing is applied to the internal or excavation face of the enclosure 2, for example by spraying concrete onto a wire mesh itself fixed by anchoring on this enclosure.
  • the facing the thickness of which according to the example mentioned above is of the order of 0.15 m makes it possible to obtain a smoother surface condition of the excavation face. Essentially, the surface finish thus obtained must allow good attachment of the casing 5 to the concrete, as will be better explained below.
  • a beam of corresponding shape 32 is provided at the top of the external enclosure 2. It is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2 that this so-called crowning beam is integrated both into the enclosure 2 and into the covering dome 3, which allows a good transmission of forces inside the concrete structure, as well as a reinforcement of the external enclosure 2.
  • the annular crowning beam 32 illustrated has a cross section greater than that of the enclosure 2, and is made of prestressed and reinforced concrete. More specifically, after the erection of the enclosure 2 of molded concrete, reinforcements and prestressing cables are made integral and anchored in the latter then, concrete is poured into a formwork corresponding to the crowning beam that l 'we wish to obtain. Following this, the cables are stretched to adequately prestress the concrete thus poured.
  • the covering dome 3 is made, in the case where such a dome is provided for the tank 1.
  • the covering dome 3 is anchored at the top of the enclosure 2 via the beam 32.
  • a metal dome 35 called to form part of the envelope 5, by forming an internal coating of the dome 3 is made from a lattice of metal beams on which are welded sheet metal plates. After manufacture, the dome 35 which defines a sealed surface corresponding to the dome 3, is made integral with the beam 32. After removal and fixing of an appropriate reinforcement on the dome 35, concrete is poured until the dome 3 is obtained.
  • the thickness of the concrete of this covering dome 3 varies from 0.5 to 1.0 m from its center to its periphery. It is at this peripheral that the concrete of the dome 3 is connected to that of the beam 32. It goes without saying that the dome 35 remains within the tank 1 after pouring the concrete, and is therefore fixed to the dome 3, which itself came out of the box with beam 32 and thick enclosure 2.
  • the metal dome 35 is integral with the dome 3 and forms part of the sealed and insulating envelope 5.
  • the envelope 5 comprises a metallic membrane which is welded to a shoulder 352, itself integral of the periphery of the dome 35. This welding is obviously continuous and hermetic, so that this membrane and the dome constitute a sealed containment enclosure.
  • the metal membrane of the enclosure 5 is designated at 54 and 52. It can also be seen that the envelope 5 comprises a layer of thermal insulation 55.
  • the membrane consists of sheets of stainless steel austenitic with a thickness of the order of 1.2 mm, welded together in a leaktight manner and is fixed to the concrete by means of layer 55. These sheets which form a containment pocket, are ribbed to resist deformations linked to the mechanical and thermal stresses applied to them by the fluid stored in the tank 1.
  • the insulation layer 55 is formed by one or more thicknesses of rigid panels 57, for example of plywood, as well as by at least one thickness of foam panels made of plastic material 56, preferably waterproof.
  • the layer 55 comprises, starting from the concrete wall a series of foam panels 56, sandwiched between two plywood thicknesses 57.
  • the panels 57 have the function of distributing the stresses applied to the insulating layer 55 , and therefore allow a better positioning thereof on the concrete walls.
  • the insulating panels 56 are for example constituted by blocks of closed cell foam, based on polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • the foam panels 56 can be waterproof and hermetically connected to each other by leaktight connections, in order to constitute an additional layer of insulation, continuous and hermetic.
  • One of the faces of the panels 57 facing the concrete is bonded to the latter, for example using a layer of suitable adhesive material. It is conceivable that the layer of adhesive material is continuous and impermeable, so that it contributes to the sealing of the reservoir 1.
  • a suspended roof 36 which is fixed by means of tie rods or of cables 37 to the dome 35 and therefore to the dome 3, is interposed between the latter and the external enclosure 2.
  • This roof 36 is constituted by a lattice of aluminum beams, itself covered with a layer of insulation 365 , for example in glass wool. Near the shoulder 352 described above, the suspended roof 36 comes into contact at its periphery with the insulation envelope 5, of which it is a part. It is then understood that this suspended roof 36 as well as its layer of glass wool 365 makes it possible to thermally isolate the fluid contained in the tank 1, the dome 3 and its dome 35, so as to maintain these elements at approximately room temperature. .
  • the reference numeral 70 designates in the figures pipes for loading and unloading the fluid to be stored in the reservoir 1. These pipes 70 which are of conventional type will not be described in more detail here.
  • the wall 20 is produced by molding in a trench in the ground, of a waterproof and deformable material, such as for example a plastic concrete or a sealing grout.
  • a waterproof and deformable material such as for example a plastic concrete or a sealing grout.
  • four tanks 1 arranged in a square could be confined inside a buried wall 20 of cylindrical or parallelepiped shape.
  • this wall 20 has a thickness at most equal to that of the external enclosures 2 of the corresponding reservoirs 1, and its base projects deeper than the latter into the ground.
  • the wall 20 extends up to the interior of the substantially impermeable layer SI.
  • the reference numeral 201 designates in FIG. 5 a system for pumping the water contained inside the wall 20. It is understood that such a system 201 has the function of evacuating out of the wall 20, so that its level is constantly maintained below the level of the rafts 4 of the tanks 1 surrounded by this wall 20. Since the infiltration of water into the ground where the tanks 1 are buried is minimized by the presence of the waterproof wall 20, the pumping system 201 of the arrangement of FIG. 5, can be very simple, which makes this arrangement particularly economical.
