Note that different words may be used for 'pier', this might need to be adapted to your context, or else a general term found; note your context refers to 'supports', and it is possible this would be a suitable all-embracing solution in FR too — it really all depends on your wider context, and what sorts of structures aye be involved.

un affouillement de l'appontement
Comme aucune proposition n'est toujours faite, je suggère définitivement, après divers recoupements et à partir de certaines pistes préalablement avancées dans la discussion, cette traduction. Peut-être qu'entre temps celle-ci aura été trouvée par vos soins Marilyn...
Une autre alternative à "appontement" serait selon moi "ponton"
Une autre alternative à "appontement" serait selon moi "ponton"

: I think 'affouillement' is correct for 'scour', but I think 'appontement' is describing the wrong kind of 'pier' here.

If you do a Google image search on "pier scour", you get masses of illustrations showing you what it relates to, e.g. this image, from a rather interesting academic article:

Bridge scour
"Bridge scour is the removal of sediment such as sand and gravel from around bridge abutments or piers. Scour, caused by swiftly moving water, can scoop out scour holes, compromising the integrity of a structure.[1]
In the United States, bridge scour is one of the three main causes of bridge failure (the others being collision and overloading). It has been estimated that 60% of all bridge failures result from scour and other hydraulic-related causes.[2] It is the most common cause of highway bridge failure in the United States,[3] where 46 of 86 major bridge failures resulted from scour near piers from 1961 to 1976.[4] "

@ Eric : Merci pour votre aide :)
@ Tony : Je vais partir sur "affouillement des piles". Merci pour votre aide.
'scour' here is the technical term for erosion by the water as it passes; this seems to be 'affouillement' as far as I can see.
I'm sure you've all observed this effect: when a pier or similar support stands in e.g. sand, as the water flows past it, the turbulence causes creates differential pressure, which causes the sand to wash away around the pier.
Vous y trouverez le mot "scouring"et son équivalent en français qui est selon moi le mot juste ici et pour "pier" je vous suggère zone d'appontement. Voilà, en espérant avoir pu vous aider :) Bonne continuation
