massive (solid) piles / mass of the pile


Explanation:
"paalmassief" sounds strange and there is no dictionary reference. I think they mean either the "mass of the pile" or the solid piles.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Alexander! Yes, a lot of this text sounds strange;)

Asker: It's a Belgian text. It's a pity there is no dictionary of specifically Flemish-English (or Flemish-Dutch for that matter) building & construction terms...
