Summary:The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a floating structure (1), comprising the following successive steps: - manufacturing a first section (11) and a second section (12) of the floating structure (1), the first section (11) and the second section (12) each comprising: - an outer hull portion (3); - an inner hull portion (4) comprising a plurality of supporting walls defining a compartment (6); and - at least one thermally insulating barrier (24, 28) of a sealed and thermally insulating tank (2) which is anchored in the compartment (6); and - assembling the first section (11) and the second section (12) such that a first cofferdam wall (7) of the first section (11) forms, with a second cofferdam wall (8) of the second section (12), a cofferdam space (9) between the compartment (6) of the first section (1) and the compartment (6) of the second section (12). L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un ouvrage flottant (1) comportant les étapes successives suivantes: - fabriquer un premier tronçon (11) et un deuxième tronçon (12) de l'ouvrage flottant (1), le premier tronçon (11) et le deuxième tronçon (12) comportant chacun: - une portion de coque externe (3); - une portion de coque interne (4) comportant une pluralité de parois porteuses définissant un compartiment (6); et - au moins une barrière thermiquement isolante (24, 28) d'une cuve étanche et thermiquement isolante (2) qui est ancrée dans ledit compartiment (6); et - assembler le premier tronçon (11) et le deuxième tronçon (12) de sorte qu'une première paroi de cofferdam (7) du premier tronçon (11) forme avec une deuxième paroi de cofferdam (8) du deuxième tronçon (12) un espace de cofferdam (9) entre le compartiment (6) du premier tronçon (11) et le compartiment (6) du deuxième tronçon (12).
