Example taken from Google:
PVC-rørene har i årtier bevist sit værd, men vi må dog forvente, at PVC udfases i løbet af få år, da PE-rør anvendes mere og mere. Installationsarbejder i forbindelse med anvendelse af PVC er meget omfattende, da der skal laves forankringer de steder, hvor der kan opstå trykkræfter. Sådanne trykkræfter optages enten i **bagstøbninger** eller trækfaste samlinger.
L&H says "backing-up", but that's not exactly descriptive. Anyone know a better way of expressing this word please?
TIA

backfill
Not sure, but I think a ditch is dug, the pipe is laid down and the backfill goes on top.

Okay. I did a little bit of research. I can say with absolute certainty, in cases where the pipe goes into the ground, the term translates into backfill.
