Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Site manual for civil engineering contractor

French term or phrase: bulle chantier

I have checked the postings already made on Proz concerning this term (Bourth's contribution, as usual, was extremely helpful).

The end client in this job is a civil engineering contractor who is also known to do nuclear power station stuff. With reference to the Proz postings already made: in this manual I don't think they are talking about "bubble suits" as such. But also, I am not convinced that they are just talking about "Portakabins": the context doesn't seem to fit for some of the extracts below (although maybe I am misunderstanding the use of "travaux" in some cases).

Below I have pulled together all the extracts in this document that refer to "bulle chantier" (I have capitalised the term in the extracts to make it easier to see).

Given what I see as the overall context, I have come up with "site bubble" as the phrase to use - but I need other people's input. I would ask colleagues to suggest what would be the most appropriate English term for this manual. (Maybe there is more than one term...).

Extracts from the manual that include the term "bulle chantier":

Thanks to BDF for the legwork and the contribution. I think "compound" is helpful here.

5 hrs confidence:

site yard

Explanation:
Or "contractor's site yard", referring to a fenced-off zone within the general construction site reserved for the contractor, where he places his cabins, toilets, parking area, steel-fixing and precasting activities, etc.

The word for all of this but without the "enclosure" aspect is "site accommodation", but bulle definitely suggests some form of "segregation". To retain the "informality" of bulle I might say "yard".

Right ... since you now have bulle site, this will need to be changed to something like "contractor's on-site yard". "Compound" has also been suggested and looks good to me, though it is rather more formal than "yard" which, as I said, I suggest to reflect the "casual" bulle.

Reference: Bulle chantier

Reference information:
It might be equivalent to the following (a separate isolated part of a site):
"Pour la durée du chantier (...), un environnement dit “clos et indépendant” sera réalisé. On appelle cet environnement **la “bulle chantier”**.
Cette “bulle chantier” permet un accès au chantier, indépendant des accès pour le personnel du site (...) et donc limite la co-activité entre la zone de chantier et l'exploitation des autres entités du site. (...) La “bulle chantier” est évolutive : la construction de chaque unité de l’usine Xxxxxxx Xxxxx II sera
modulaire."
