As previous question:
"Ces plate-formes permettent d'accéder aux nervures de précontrainte afin de mener les phases de détente des têtes d'ancrage des cerces:
- chalumage des capots
- démolition du béton injecté sous les capots
- chalumage des têtes de précontrainte"
I'm used to "capots" being shock absorbers in a flask handling sense, but I'm not quite sure what they refer to here - hood, cover?
TIA
