Settlement

Science - Construction / Civil Engineering
English term or phrase: Settlement
The background to this cost saving relates to a variation that was issued to supply and install a Geotextile fabric
under the reclamation fill areas. This initiative was put in place to improve the quality of the construction of the
reclamation areas and minimise future settlement. The bank would approve the variation provided savings could
be found to offset the Geotextile cost and keep the project within budget.


This is talking about the reclamation of land(填海造地)

Can you tell me how to translate settlement here into Chinese.

Thanks
