Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Phil, That's exactly how the French answerer put it. Maybe it was an abbreviation of drainage du réseau. I assume that the excavator is used as a digger to create drainage systems. I'm not sure how that relates to pavement connections or what pavement connections really means. Does that mean laying paving? Just trying to understand the uses of these machines.
