A sealed and insulating tank, notably for liquefied natural gas, includes, a supporting wall with anchor members disposed in a repeated pattern, a sealing barrier in contact with a product contained in the tank and a thermal insulation barrier disposed between the sealing barrier and the supporting wall, the thermal insulation barrier including a plurality of insulating panels disposed in the repeated pattern, each insulating panel being fixed to the supporting wall by an adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the insulating panel and one or more anchor members of the supporting wall each cooperating with a hole passing through the insulating panel. The number of anchor members per insulating panel is in the range 1 to 6, preferably 2 to 3. A method of fixing insulating panels employs a clamping tool.

Method according to claim 1, further including: removing the clamping tool (54) from the second anchor member after the adhesive on the first insulating panel has been crushed against the supporting wall, to enable placing of the second insulating panel (60) on the supporting wall. 3. Method according to claim 1, wherein a third insulating panel (50) adjacent the first insulating panel (60) is already disposed on the supporting wall during the fixing of the first insulating panel (60), the method further including: attaching a second clamping tool (55) to a third anchor member corresponding to the location of the third insulating panel (50),bringing an arm of the second clamping tool to bear on the first insulating panel (60) and on the third insulating panel (50), andclamping the first insulating panel (60) against the supporting wall with the arm of the second clamping tool (55) at the level of a second area of the first insulating panel (60) at a distance from the hole of the first insulating panel. 4. Method according to claim 3, wherein a surface of the first insulating panel (32) and a surface of the third insulating panel (33) on which the arm of the second clamping tool (44) bears are at the same level relative to the supporting wall (1). 5. Method according to claim 3, wherein a surface of the first insulating panel (31) and a surface of the third insulating panel (30) on which the arms of the second clamping tool (43) bear are at different levels relative to the supporting wall (1). 6. Method according to claim 1, wherein the anchor members include studs (2) projecting from the supporting wall, the method further including: screwing a nut (48) onto a stud to clamping the first insulating panel (31) against the supporting wall at the level of the hole (45, 47). 7. Method for fixing an insulating panel (50, 60) to a supporting wall in a repeated pattern of insulating panels (50, 60, 61), the supporting wall being provided with anchor members (2) disposed in said repeated pattern, said insulating panel including each time an adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the insulating panel and a hole (51, 52) passing through the insulating panel, the method including: disposing a first insulating panel (50, 60) on the supporting wall in such a manner as to press the adhesive against the supporting wall, the hole of the first insulating panel being positioned in line with a first anchor member, clamping the first insulating panel against the supporting wall with the aid of the first anchor member (2) at the level of the hole (51, 52), attaching a clamping tool (54) to a second anchor member corresponding to the location (58, 59) of a second insulating panel adjacent the first insulating panel, the clamping tool including an anchor rod (11) adapted to be attached to the anchor members of the supporting wall in such a manner as to project substantially perpendicularly to the supporting wall and an arm (12) connected to the anchor rod transversely thereto to extend at a distance from the supporting wall in the attached position of the clamping tool,clamping the first insulating panel (50, 60) against the supporting wall with the arm of the clamping tool (54) in an area of the first insulating panel distant from the hole (51, 52) of the first insulating panel,wherein the clamping tool (10) that is used includes:an anchor rod (11) adapted to be attached to the anchor members (2) of the supporting wall (1) in such a manner as to project substantially perpendicularly to the supporting wall,said arm (12) connected to the anchor rod transversely thereto to extend at a distance from the supporting wall in the attached position of the clamping tool, the arm including first and second parts (13, 15) situated on respective opposite sides of the anchor rod,a first bearing member (14) connected in a mobile manner to the first part of the arm and adjustable in position relative to the arm in a direction substantially parallel to the anchor rod so as to be able to be brought to bear on an insulating panel, anda second bearing member (16) connected in a mobile manner to the second part of the arm and adjustable in position relative to the arm in a direction substantially parallel to the anchor rod,wherein the second bearing member (16) has an amplitude of position adjustment relative to the arm greater than the thickness of the insulating panels (30-33) to be able to bring the second bearing member to bear selectively on the supporting wall (1) or on another insulating panel (33) when the first bearing member is bearing on the first insulating panel (33, 32). 8.
