Lorsque l'on doit battre un pieu plus bas que le niveau du sol, dans une fouille ou sous l'eau, on utilise un faux pieu. Il s'agit d'une pièce de bois, de métal ou de béton placée entre le mouton et la tête du pieu. [...] On peut ainsi réduire la longueur des pieux et supprimer un recépage, ce qui réduit les coûts. 1, record 1, French, - faux%20pieu
