Sol / voie / fondation


Explanation:
Cunet is a Dutch word. In English, that's an excavated soil. In French, "sol" or "fondation" or even "voie" in this context.

Careful: Bare cunet + leveling of cunet is not proper English. Also, it means sol nu and nivelage du sol (or sol nivelé) in French.

disagree  david henrion: ce n'est pas simplement le sol, c'est une tranchée peu profonde d'une largeur supérieure à celle des dalles à poser, il s'agit donc plus d'un fond de forme ou d'une plateforme. En aucun cas d'une "voie" qui serait le résultat fini.

agree  Martin Buchet: Lit de pose ok ! Creusé est facultatif mais correct !

  -> Merci, j'ajoute "creusé" pour reprendre le fait que ce lit n'est pas le niveau fini mais est creusé/excavé pour accueillir les dalles dont la face supérieure constituera le niveau fini.
agree  Bourth: Ou simplement 'plateforme', car les photos montrent le fouille/déblai.
