I am sorry I don't have more context. Indeed, the text is very difficult and unclear.

Selected

stainless steel horizontal distance-pieces

Sans de plus ample contexte, c'est tout ce que je peux suggérer.

Peut être 'spacers' au lieu de 'distance-pieces'

souvent 's/steel' (voire 's/s') pour 'stainless steel'

context???

I'm putting this as an answer because the "Ask Asker" box is systematically too short.

What is the context? Reference to the "voie engins" appears to refer to a road, or at least the fire access area around a building, while the rest appears to refer to the façade and roof. Knowing what sort of building it is, and anything else about its architecture, might help elucidate what these stainless-steel standoffs (???) might be...

Proximity barriers??? I have found reference to a number of "barrière de mise à distance" used for security around paintings in museums, articles in places of interest such as Versailles, etc. Quite what they are (stainless-steel wire a short distance beyond walls, as at the Louvre, velvet-rope barriers in the salons of Versailles, etc.) I don't know, and I can't see what their purpose would be outsside (presumably) a building, unless they are something like stainless-steel bollards to prevent ramming by vehicles .....
