French term

passes de forage

French to English Other Geology
La length maximale des passes de forage avant essais, définie par l'annexe C de la norme, devra être scrupuleusement respectée.
Les prélèvements des sols (cuttings, éléments de carottes, matériaux remontés par des tarières, etc...), réalisés au cours des forages, devront être mis systématiquement, au fur et à mesure de l'avancement des travaux, dans des sacs plastiques étanches fermés et étiquetés.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 drilling runs

Compare:

"Every minute during the drilling process, the
accelerometers sense the ‘low side’ of the
core tube and records the position in the
memory. On completion of the drilling run,

There could be a number of drilling runs in a phase. E.g. based upon the analysis of cores obtained from drilling runs in the initial sampling phase, there could be a decision to carry out more detailed investigative work involving further drilling runs for core sampling to particular sections of the site.
Peer comment(s):

agree kashew : as they've just before said "length"
50 mins
Thanks kashew. Yes, rather odd to say "length" in French!
agree Guy Bray : And it's core barrel, and I would say low end
1 hr
Thanks Guy.

borehole stage

"Stage" is said of a length of borehole in relation to pressure testing or grouting of cracked rock and may well be applied to successive phases of drilling also.

Longueur maximale de la passe de forage fait avant introduction de la sonde pressiomètrique

Maximum drilling lengths cut prior to the introduction of the pressiometric drill



Les longueurs maximales de forage pressiomètrique à réaliser avant l’introduction de la sonde dépendent des propriétés des terrains, de l’existence d’une nappe et de la présence ou non d’un tubage. La longueur maximale de forage fait à l’avance doit respecter les règles regroupées dans le tableau ci-dessous.

The maximum drilling lengths to be cut prior to the introduction of the drill depend on the soil properties, the existence of a layer and the presence or otherwise of a tubing. The maximum length of prior drilling must comply with the rules set out below.
