French term

confortement par épinglage à l’avancement

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
The term appears in a list of work carried out by an engineering firm specialising in the prevention of damage to property from natural hazards. This is all the context I have for the moment, but if I find anything else in the text that might help to clarify the context, I'll post it in a note. Thanks in advance :)

slope consolidation by (progressive) soil nailing

Hard to be more certain given lack of context, but this is what it adds up to for me. I don't really think "progressive" is necessary, but then I don't really see what "à l'avancement" adds.

"Soil nailing" involves putting steel (usually, possibly plastics, GRP etc.) bars into the ground, either anchored at depth or simply to intersect potential planes of failure and therefore prevent slips.

If this is "soil nailing", the more usual term would be "cloutage" or "clouage", which is involved in the construction of a "paroi cloutée".

However, it might be that they are referring to "rock bolting", though here too the more usual term has always been "tirantage" since it involves the instgallation of "tirants", or "ancrage".

The following suggests to me that "épinglage" is in fact ROCK BOLTING, though they also refer to it as "cloutage", which is confusing to say the least!

Ce barrage à vocation hydroélectrique a pour originalité d'avoir l'ensemble de la MACHINERIE DANS DES CAVERNES creusées dans la roche de la rive droite. POur assurer la stabilité des voutes, il a été projeté de réaliser un CLOUTAGE et des tirants.
Méthode de CLOUTAGE.
Après réalisation de forages ascendants dans la voute, une barre d'acier Gewi de 28 mm (DSI), muni d'une coquille expansive à son extrémité. Par vissage cette coquille s'accroche à la paroi des forages.
Ensuite un essai de traction de quelques tonnes est réalisé, puis la barre tendue est scellée, par injection de ciment et bloquée.
Il s'agit d'une opératiion délicate quui a nécessité de nombreuses tentatives avant sa mise au point.

The above suggests that "clouage" and "épinglage" are indeed not (not exactly, at least) the same thing.

Afin de mettre en sécurité les parois, TERRASOL a préconisé et supervisé les mesures suivantes:
- purge à l'explosif et mécanique des éperons surplombant afin de mettre à nu le miroir de faille ;
- adoucissement des pentes ;
- EPINGLAGE de blocs en paroi ;
- pose d'un grillage pare bloc ;
- mise en place d'un périmètre de sécurité

Again (above), "épinglage" appears to be more a matter of "rock bolting" than "soil nailing".
