landscape gardening - quote
Construction d'un local technique en béton armé hydrofuge, pour l'appareillage de l'étang (dimensions 3mx4m), y compris réservations et ***introductions*** étanches, etc…
Enrochement de blocs de pierres pour habillage de la structure du local technique en béton (pose sur liant terre pierre permettant la plantation entre les blocs)
I think 'réservations' might be 'reentrants' or 'reentrant corners' here but am not sure what they mean by 'introductions'. This is from a quote for the landscape gardening of the grounds of a large house - it's from Switzerland, by the way.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!

penetration
"Penetration" is the word, and as the actress said ..., can have the meaning of "introduction" in more than one context ...
<<penetration (1) A hole made in the structure or envelope of a building (walls, floor, roof), either formed as work proceeds or cut out later. The trade requiring the penetration must give details to the main contractor will in advance ...>>

"réservation" is a boxout, blockout, pocket, or void, a hole left in the concrete by placing a wooden box or a piece of polystyrene, a pipe, etc. in place at time of casting.
Quite what they are getting at with "réservations ET introductions" I cannot fathom. One should serve to form the other. However it is possible, if indeed they are making a conscious distinction, that they mean to distinguish between boxouts (made when the concrete is cast) and cutouts (broken out of the concrete when it has hardened).

français term (edited):
introduction / r�servation
entry / blockout
'introduction' is simply an entry point (in this case, sealed / watertight) for pipework; it might just be a 'hole'
'réservation' in this sense is almost certainly NOT a re-entrant corner, but rather, a space 'reserved' in the concrete for future use (hole, slot, etc.) --- something that is 'blocked-out'.
However, please DO check the glossary for this term, as it has cropped up several times before, and you may find the discussion helpful in choosing the most appropriate term for your particular needs.
