Spanish term

cimentaciones por pilotes de hormigón armado

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering parrot-brain strikes again
The context:

"PERFORACIÓN Y HORMIGONADO DE PILOTES

Se definen como **cimentaciones por pilotes de hormigón armado moldeados "in situ"**, las realizadas mediante pilotes de hormigón armado cuya ejecución se efectúa perforando previamente el terreno y rellenando la excavación con hormigón fresco y las correspondientes armaduras.

Se define como diámetro del pilote construido "in situ", el diámetro interior de la excavación o, en su caso, de la entubación recuperable. El posible ensanchamiento del fuste del pilote, por apisonado o compresión del hormigonado, no se tendrá en cuenta para admitir un aumento de la carga admisible del mismo, considerado como elemento estructural."

Pardon my dense brain, but are "cimentaciones" to be understood here as FOUNDATIONS? Or do "cimentaciones por pilotes" mean something else?

Discussion

Non-ProZ.com May 14, 2002:
Can't anybody just tell me if this is just wordy, i.e., if I'm supposed to say "Reinforced concrete pile foundations are those executed through reinforced concrete piles, the execution of which is effected by previously perforating the ground and refilling the excavation..." DO YOU SEE MY PROBLEM???

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, the vocab here was actually secondary to the sentence structure which just goes around. So you end up asking how the pile can execute its own foundations."

Cast-in-place reinforced concrete pile foundations ...

Cast-in-place reinforced concrete pile foundations are (defined as) reinforced concrete piles executed by previously drilling the ground and filling the excavation with fresh concrete

How about something like this? It's shorter and snappier, and I don't think I've left anything out.
