Dutch term or phrase:zate
Door aldus op de verbindingsplaatsen het touwmateriaal, bijvoorbeeld manillatouw of eventueel ook - met het oog op de gunstige levensduur hiervan - nylonkoord aan te halen, is een stevig geheel verkregen, dat slechts naar verhouding ballast vergt om tot zinken te kunnen worden gebracht. Vooral is het voordelig, dat voor de vervaardiging geen aparte z.g. zate nodig is.
Explanation: I think a/the "zate" is: the place along the dike where the sinking/collar/fascine mattresses (zinkstukken) are made. I believe it is called a "footing", or the "footings".
"Vooral is het voordelig, dat voor de vervaardiging geen aparte z.g. zate nodig is."
=
+- "This is particularly advantageous because no separate footings (foundation) are needed for manufacture (of the fascine mattresses)."
