German term

Stuetzeneinfassung

German to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Text about building a multi-storey car park
Die Firma ***** stellt die Stuetzeneinfassungen her.

I'm afraid there isn't a whole lot more context to give, other than the fact that the "Stuetzeneinfassungen" are for a multi-storey car park, and that this sentence comes under the heading, "Strassenbau".

The best I can come up with is "pillar border" or possibly "pillar curb", but I'm really not sure what's actually meant here. A Google search yielded just these two results:

https://www.dachbaustoffe.de/suche/stuetzeneinfassung

http://www.heinze.de/ausschreibungstext/anschluss-rhepanol-f...

Make of them what you will... ;-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

column/buttress trim/border

I imagine them to be rather massive and the 'Einfassungen' are something like the concrete borders around columns. Something like the second photo on the top row: https://www.google.de/search?q=Stützeneinfassung&client=fire...

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I eventually chose "column border", but many thanks to everyone for their suggestions!"

support covering

Since it is material that can be rolled up, it has to be some sort of covering for a structural element, so 'support' for 'Stütze' is not that far off

If you try googling "pillar cladding"; "column cladding", "column casing", "column cladding", there are thousands of hits for each, so take your pick...
Peer comment(s):

neutral Yorkshireman : pillar or column cladding is applied around a raw concrete pillar as a protective or decorative layer. @David - I did (and I always do), but some may not have the time or inclination to look - unlike us.

The foundation structures for the columns, ready for erection of the (supposedly) prefabricated columns.
