French term or phrase: bi-mats pour les façades
Les entreprises ayant des besoins particuliers en force, éclairage ou chauffage, (atelier de soudage, magasins, containers, bi-mats pour les façades, aérothermes provisoire de préchauffage, etc…) pourront demander directement des alimentations particulières à l’entreprise générale qui répondra sous réserve de faisabilité.

I can find lots of references to bi-mats as twin-posted signposts, but this context seems to refer to something with a power supply.

Thanks.

Explanation:
If you read your source text again, you will see that this is a list of contractors' equipment for carrying out works, not a list of stuff to be installed.

Here is a ref with a photo of a couple of bi-mats:

"Plate-forme de travail élévatrice bi-mât 800 - 2 000 kg. Tables élévatrices. monte-charge à crémaillère pour matériaux de construction 1 500 kg MABER ..."
http://www.directindustry.fr/prod/maber-costruzioni-srl/plat...

And in English:
"Features of the GEDA Multilift 4400 construction elevator include:

* Twin masts for hoisting more than 1.5 tons
* Enclosed cars for added safety
* Pre-selection control for automatic drive option
* Closed base enclosure

The unique design of the GEDA Multilift 4400 construction elevators allows users to operate the controls from several vantage points, including the loading and unloading points, the base and the car. This feature creates a safe environment for personnel inside the elevator and those working near the landings."
