Claim 17:
18. A method for assembling a fluid-tight and thermally insulating tank wall according to claim 1, the method comprising the steps of:
for at least one corrugation of a first series of parallel corrugations of a corrugated rectangular sheet metal part of the corrugated fluid-tight membrane, positioning a row of first wave reinforcements on the support surface of a thermally insulating barrier of a fluid-tight and thermally insulating tank, said row of first wave reinforcements being formed by alternately nesting connecting members and first wave reinforcements;
maintaining ends of said row of first wave reinforcements in position on the support surface of the thermally insulating barrier;
positioning on the support surface of the thermally insulating barrier, for at least one corrugation of a second series of parallel corrugations of the corrugated rectangular sheet metal part, second wave reinforcements;
fixing onto the support surface of the thermally insulating barrier the corrugated rectangular sheet metal part so that the row of first wave reinforcements is accommodated in a corresponding corrugation of the first series of parallel corrugations of the corrugated rectangular sheet metal part and the second wave reinforcements are accommodated in a corresponding corrugation of the second series of parallel corrugations of the corrugated rectangular sheet metal part.
