French term
VB/VH
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Foundations
Context:
Déblais
Fouilles pour création de la piscine et de sa cuve de stockage, du bassin écrêteur et des restanques, ainsi que des radiers de fondation correspondant
m³
Fouilles pour création du R-1 de l'hôtel, rampe accès parking R-1 et cuvettes VB/VH parking R-1
As usual stuck with abbreviations/acronyms. As far as I can see only appears once.
Could it be Volume Bas/Haut if it is a split level car park?
TIA Chris.

Hi,
It seems that the cuvette combined with ventilation is most probably to do with heating and boilers, but this could be the case in a basement alongside the car park perhaps. I can't see it meaning "voie" as the car park is only on one level.

Note from asker:
| This does away with my idea of pit or sump for "cuvette". Suggestions for "cuvette"? Thanks, Chris. |

philgoddard
: Your reference also suggests "voie", which seems plausible.

: Phil: yes, that's true, but that idea could be sort of combined into a ventilation shaft, which is "puits de ventilation".

top and bottom ventilation recesses (or reservoirs, or grills)
I find more examples of top and bottom ventilation than lower/upper.
I have three options:
1) Ventilation reservoirs in the context of smoke reservoirs, but I don't think this is your case because I don't see why extra excavation is required for the ceilings....
2) Recesses: I think the cuvette part could be the extra space where the ventilation equipment is located, and for which extra excavation is required extending out from the basic car park dimensions?
3) a "cuvette de ventilation" is in fact a ventilation grill (try Google images). But this doesn't explain why it needs extra excavation.

re: 2) in fact, not sure that the cuvette would necessarily contain ventilation equipment, but I still think "recess" is possible.

Note from asker:
| Thank you. Recesses do perhaps require extra excavation work as it is underground. |

: I'd probably go for high-level/low-level ventilation, but I think your overall idea is right.
