platform leveller

depending on the subject.
niveleur = leveller, planer, tournadozer, grader
quai = (hydr.) = embankment (ch.de fer) = platform, (port) = quay, wharf, pier, dock, (routes) embankment road (Ernst: Dictionary of Engineering and Technology)

The list of services reminds me the trades necessary for reconstruction of railways. Therefore I propose the translation platform leveller
