Tech/Engineering - Bergbau und Mineralien/Edelsteine | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: hors nappe | A titre comparatif et afin de souligner les fonctions de la machine, citons que dans le cas d’un massif calcaire *hors nappe* sur toute la longueur d’un tunnel non hydraulique, le choix serait une machine classique «poutre» ouverte à appui latéral avec pose immédiate de quelques boulons de sûreté et béton projeté.
Me:
As a comparison and to emphasize the functions of the machine, let us state that in the case involving a limestone massif....over the entire length of a non-hydraulic tunnel, the choice will be a classic open "girder" machine with lateral support and immediate installation of several safety bolts and gunite.

| | | above the water table | Erklärung:
"nappe phréatique" is the term for water table, often abbreviated to "nappe". Limestone are commonly aquifers: here the writer emphasizes that the massif is above the water table, which has implications for the design of the machine (a tunnel borer?). |

Erklärung:
Hi Marcus,
Le Robert Collins defines nappe (fitting your context) as:
nappe de gaz ou pétrole, etc.: layer of gas/oil, etc.
nappe de mazout: oil slick
nappe phréatique: ground water
Also, see below. I copied some interesting bilingual links for you. As you can see, different translations are chosen for different contexts.
