German term or phrase: Randpfahl
I am working on piles in DIN 1054. Although I understand what it is, I do not know the English term for it.

This is what I found:
Rrandpfahl, m. im wasserbau, ein pfahl der vor einem andern wasserbau eingeschlagen wird, damit derselbe sich nicht auf die wasserseite neigen kann.
