[0077] The embodiments provide a construction platform for a Mark III thin film type enclosure system, with reference to Figure 1 and in combination with Figure 3The construction platform comprises a main frame 10, a running mechanism and an automatic installation device 50. The main frame 10 comprises a first extension direction X and a second extension direction Y perpendicular to each other in a plane, and a third extension direction Z perpendicular to the plane. The running mechanism surrounds the periphery of the main frame 10 and is in sliding connection with the main frame 10. The automatic installation device 50 is arranged on the side of the running mechanism away from the main frame 10 and is in sliding connection with the running mechanism. Thus, when the construction of the containment system of the liquid cargo tank 40 in the ship is carried out, the main frame 10 of the construction platform is fixed to the bottom wall 42 in the liquid cargo tank 40, and the running mechanism can move along the main frame 10 to transport the automatic installation device 50 arranged on the running mechanism to each part of the inner wall of the liquid cargo tank 40 to build and construct the containment system on the tank wall of the liquid cargo tank 40. Moreover, the automatic installation device 50 is in sliding connection with the running mechanism and can slide along the running mechanism to realize all-around construction.

Referring to Figure 1 , the plurality of beam structures are arranged parallel to the plane and connect adjacent two columns 11. The beam structure serves as a fixed connecting beam between the columns 11. In this embodiment, the beam structure comprises a first beam structure 121 extending along the first extension direction X and a second beam structure 122 extending along the second extension direction Y, and each beam structure connects adjacent two columns 11. In order to realize the sliding connection with the running mechanism, the first beam structure 121 and the second beam structure 122 are both provided with sliding rails to serve as the bearing body of the running mechanism and to provide necessary support and guidance for the movement of the running mechanism on the main frame.

At both ends of the closed loop structure are a first end surface and a second end surface, which are opposite to each other. This three-dimensional structure is the same as the structure of the liquid cargo tank 40, but its overall size is slightly smaller than that of the liquid cargo tank 40.
