French term
travaux à feu
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Petroleum Eng/Sci
petro-chemicals plant / refinery
I know this basically means "hot working", and specifically 'with a naked flame', and is in connection with the organization of maintenance works, work permits etc., but I'm not at all sure of the correct industry technical term.
Here's one example of a sentence in which it is used, not that it helps much, really:
"durée en jours de mise à disposition avant travaux à feu"

I'm far from sure it is customary in English to distinguish different kinds of hot work. Any permit will apply strictly to a given job in a given environment, so I think it's pretty much irrelevant which actual type of "heat generation" is involved.
I actually wonder if the French pair "travaux à point chaud" and "travaux à feu" are not actually redundant ... Maybe "à feu" is the original French and "à point chaud" has been grafted onto it under the influence of the English expression ...

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Alex! The problem is that they appear to be specifically distinguishing this from 'mere' hot work... |

| Thanks a lot for your contribution! I didn't find any further corroboration for the need to specify more closely, so didn't in the end adopt this solution, though it certainly might be the most appropriate in certain other contexts. |
