Hello,
I am carrying out a French to English construction document and I am stuck on a few terms of which one is: "dalles de regard"
I think that they are manholes in a pavement but would be great to get confirmation.
The full sentence is: "plate forme pierres a terminer et pose des dalles de regard"
Thanks
Andy

manhole cover slab
The basic role of a cover slab is to provide a firm platform to both 'cap' the chamber and to carry the cover along with any regulating brickwork. They are typically manufactured in a high-strength, steel-reinforced concrete, and, for manholes, the minimum opening size of 600x600mm is created within the cover slab during the casting process. Although the vast

inspection chamber reduction slabs
I suggest that it is better to avoid the word "manhole" as a "regard" is not necessarily that large and also the term "inspection chamber" is preferred nowadays. Generally, the covers are not "dalles" and if "dalles" are being used, they are probably reduction slabs to reduce the size of the opening to the size of the cover.
