French translation:installations (existantes)

Explanation:
* It should be existing and not exist.
Existing non-railway installations. Low for LT En/BT Fr is probable but low meaning not elevated/high level is an interpretation too. I agree totally with Polyglot that it's garbage English!

Première remarque - l'anglais est bourré d'erreurs.... (Investigation INTO..), on the catenary under exist low civil assets (caténaire se dit autrement en anglais en règle générale, low civil assets - low tension installations).
