Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Speed circuit
French term or phrase: fourreaux
The term has been asked before, but I'm not satisfied with any answers.

As in my previous question, this is the CERAM speed circuit at Mortefontaine, France. Under the heading "CONDITION D'INSTALLATION" is :

Existe en version fixe avec supports battus dans le sol et en version amovible avec fourreaux au droit des entrées riverains.
3 ou 4 hauteurs de glissières métalliques possibles, de type GSA ou GSB, fixées directement via un écarteur de type P sur les supports.

The accompanying image is of a car crashing into a crash barrier (i.e. the "glissières métalliques").

I'm thinking of "post sockets".

disagree  Daryo: "sockets" yes, but there are no "gates" in sight! It's for protection barriers (with preferably no "gates" in them ...) // a whole section of the crash barrier is "movable" i.e. removed when not needed - there are NO GATES / discontinuities.
