French term

cône d’envole

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Lifting / crane operations
Hi all,

Hope all's well!

I'm translating a construction site welcome pack from French (France) into English (United Kingdom) and am having trouble with a phrase.

The phrase in question appears in the overview section for the construction site and sets out the risks relating to building components. Please see below for full context:

"Levage : cône d’envole, interférence entre grues = mise en place obligatoire de plan de levage"

Does anyone know the technical term for this please?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

It was Althea who found the French video - great reference and it does seem that it's talking about the three-dimensional cone-shaped space.

Thanks for the references, Suzie.

Cône de danger sous la grue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN8IksudBos

In this video, the person's hi viz jacket emits an alarm if he enters the 'cône de danger'. However, in the source text that Matthew provided, it appears that the 'cône d’envole' is the aerial danger area where cranes and lifting equipment might come into contact with each other rather than the 'cône' on the ground.
Suzie Withers Dec 10, 2020:
I wondered if it meant zone, rather than cone... I know there is a "danger zone" or "exclusion zone" for crane operations.

Although I guess this area is cone-shaped!
philgoddard Dec 10, 2020:
I found a few hits for "lift cone". I'm not sure if the French refers to a part of the crane, or an area to be kept free. Maybe the latter is more likely, since it says "interférence entre grues".
