Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / prevention of rainwater flooding yard

French term or phrase: clapi cette

Here is the context - the tenants have been complaining about various faults in their property

Nous demandons à l'entreprise de recharger la « clapi cette » de cette cour, sachant que compte tenu de la configuration des lieux, et pour le confort des usagers, il ne sera pas possible de réaliser de forte pente, et qu'en cas de forte pluie (plutôt rares), il faudra laisser s'écouler les résidus de pluie.
