Danish term or phrase: "fjeld i dagen"
Can anyone confirm my suspicion that "fjeld i dagen" means "bedrock"? I cannot find this term in any of my dictionaries. Here is the context:

Mastekonstruktionen boltes fast på 50 cm lange nedborede ø16 galvaniserede bolte faststøbt i fjeld i dagen.

Thanks in advance!

competent bedrock


Explanation:
Meaning not only that the bedrock is exposed, but also that it is not cracked to an extent that makes it unsafe to anchor heavy bolts in it.
