Dutch term or phrase: Aanstorten

Hello,

I'm stuck on a translation for 'aanstorten' with regards to installing a talking post in the ground and filling the pit it stands in with concrete.

Unfortunately, I don't have a sentence for context. It's just there as a heading in a powerpoint presentation: "INSTALLATIE - PERMANENT - AANSTORTEN"

Any ideas? I'm going with 'FILLING IN' at the moment.

"concrete in" is an instruction. "concreted in" is a description. Take your pick.
