On a également réalisé des pieux-tubes à ailettes (...) qui, en favorisant la pénétration à travers des obstacles à la façon d'une sondeuse, permettent d'avoir une bonne assise sur le rocher franc. Ces pointes sont constituées par quatre fers plats (ou plus), coulés ou soudés sur la pointe conique.  1, record 3, French, - pieu%2Dtube%20%C3%A0%20ailettes
