neutral  Tony M: I don't believe that 'masse' is the right word to use here, as I think they are specifically talking about real 'earth'

earth grid networks
travaux sur des réseaux de mise à la terre


Explanation:
I suspect there's an error in the source text.

*earth grid networks*
--> should probably read:
*earth grid-net works*
or:
*earth(ing) grid works*

which translates as 'travaux sur des réseaux de mise à la terre'

Otherwise, the simple translation 'réseaux de mise à la terre' omits the word 'networks' altogether.
