Composite panels each having a casing and insulating material in the casing are mounted in a covering layer over the inside of a supporting structure by mechanical fastening means. Joint cover members including insulating material and outer facing material are disposed in the spaces between casings of adjacent composite panels. The outer facing material is sealed to front panel portions of the casings to form a primary barrier for cryogenic liquids therewith. An additional secondary barrier may be provided by using composite panels with interior panels in the casings sealed to inner sides thereof and dividing the casings into front and rear compartments, each having insulation therein, and using front and rear joint cover members, the outer facing material of the rear joint cover members being sealed to outer sides of the casings of adjacent composite panels to form a secondary barrier with the interior panels of the composite panels.

An insulated cryogenic liquid container comprising a supporting structure, an enclosure mounted within the supporting structure and having a wall portion partially formed by a preformed and unitarily mounted composite insulating panel including a generally rectangular casing having a front panel portion and a rear mounting flange, an interior panel sealed to and dividing the casing into front and rear compartments, and insulating material in each of the compartments, and means clamping the mounting flange to the supporting structure to mechanically removably secure both a portion of a primary barrier and a portion of a secondary barrier in position, the front panel portion of the casing forming the portion of the primary barrier and the interior panel forming the portion of the secondary barrier, the primary barrier directly contacting and confining cyrogenic liquid when the container is in use and the secondary barrier confining any cryogenic fluid which escapes through any unforeseen defects in the primary barrier.
