precast concrete panel
Explanation:
The panels, 70 to 100 mm thick, form the lower part of the finished concrete slab and also act as the bottom formwork. The rest of the concrete in the slab is poured on top of the panels, to make a solid load-carrying unit.

Asker: Sorry, I should have explained - I don't know what the English is for 'breedplaat', I was just giving a synonym.
