reinforced concrete pads
Explanation:
(i.e. pad foundations)

That's what I've always translated it as.

However, you seem to have some doubt over whether or not these are pad foundations.

"Pad foundations are generally shallow foundations, but can be deep depending on the ground conditions. They are a form of spread foundation formed by rectangular, square, or sometimes circular concrete 'pads' that support localised single-point loads such as structural columns, groups of columns or framed structures."

It does seem reasoonable to suppose that some sort of local beefing up of the foundations would be required where there was extra load from the CVC.
