French term or phrase: pieu lanterné
"Les essais sont réalisés au moyen d'une sonde standard de 60 mm de diamètre dans les sols cohérents et d'une sonde de 44 mm de diamètre dans un pieu lanterné dans les sols pulvérulents."

Perforated pipe? Any ideas?
Thanks.

slotted probe
Explanation:
''tube lanterné'' is translated as ''slotted tube'' here:

A slotted probe is an instrument used in soil sampling. See:

And here:

AMS Regular Step Soil Probes provide an easy way to recover shallow soil samples into a slotted probe body in one simple step.

aka "Chinese lantern" (which is new to me):

Pressuremeter equipment consists of an expandable cylindrical probe, inner rubber membrane, pressure lines, and an outer SLOTTED TUBE OR CHINESE LANTERN. The pressuremeter probe may consist of either one cell or three cells that are hydraulically or pneumatically expanded to obtain a pressure versus volume curve or pressure versus radial strain curve. The inner rubber membrane is expanded at a specific test depth, and the outer slotted tube or Chinese screen expands with the membrane. The slotted tube or screen protects the membrane from punctures induced by gravel or other sharp objects.
