French term or phrase: pli de plancher
Hi guys, this is also from the document.

Le bâtiment contient également un amphithéâtre de taille importante formé au RDC selon le même concept mais variant avec un jeu de deux plis de plancher.

Explanation:
These terms are used when talking about theatres and structures that are used to create theatre seating, so my guess is that this is what is meant by pli in this context. If you could see a photo of what they are describing, that might help!
