Foundations
Still on my soil survey for a power plant:
Having decided that the best foundation method is to use piles, it goes on to say:
Longueur de **fiches**
Les pieux seront ancrés d'au moins 5 mètres dans le substratum (couche 3), soit les **fiches** minimales suivantes au droit des sondages :
AFNOR does give "driven depth" for fiche, but I'm not sure how to use that in conjunction with length. Maybe I should ignore the length and just say driven depth?
Confirmation/contradiction would be appreciated!
Thanks

arrow (?)
Still mooching about in GDT and I found 'arrow' for 'fiche', with the following definition:
Tige d'acier dont l'extrémité est ourlée, que l'on place, en l'enfonçant dans le sol, à l'extrémité de chaque portée de chaîne.
Please note low confidence on this.
