This occurs in a table entitled "offre de prix: chantier: assise pour bungalows et réparation de bordure / caniveau"
So far I have translated "caniveau" as "trough" as I thought this the safest / most general option (I have no images and no other description of this site)
But not sure about "béton de caniveau" in the phrase " Fourniture et pose du béton de blocage et béton de caniveau"
Any ideas? Trough concrete? Concrete for the torugh?
Many thanks

: Must agree, though I kind of took it for granted we knew what we were talking about, the main problem being the translation of "caniveau", as I saw it.

Bourth (X)
: Gutter concrete (road gutters, not roof gutters). Béton de blocage and béton de caniveau will not be the same mixes, the former being a lean mix.

These days I'm surprised anyone needs "gutter concrete" or "channel concrete" since such things tend to be precast units, though for long runs slipforming may be used.
