French term

sorties en fers ronds

French to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Building contract grounding specifications
- L'entrepreneur titulaire du présent lot devra dans le cadre de son Marché forfaitaire :
- Tous les dispositifs de fixation de la tresse de cuivre de 116 mm² de section reliant toutes les platines d’appui de tous les poteaux aux sorties du circuit de terre (prestation de câblages et de raccordements au lot Électricité), sur les ouvrages de Charpente Métallique et de Serrurerie.
À cet effet, l'entrepreneur du présent lot devra prévoir des percements en atelier, diamètre 12mm, en partie basse de tous les poteaux pour mise à la terre en tresse de cuivre de 116 mm² de section.
Ces tresses de terre du lot Électricité seront fixées par boulons et contreplaques sur les platines des poteaux et seront obligatoirement brasées sur les **sorties en fers ronds**.

Do they mean the protruding ends of rebars? Or something else?

@Chris Indeed they must. i wrestled with "sortie" during the night and my flagging brain emerged with "emerging".

Looking at this logically, the copper braids are attached electrically (bolted) to the flats on the posts/poles. The other ends of the copper braid, it seems, MUST be brazed (ie not welded) onto the ends of the steel rebar that might be used to reinforce a concrete floor, say. "Sortie" seems a bit redundant if it's just a mesh that's being connected to earth.

Note from asker:
Almost certainly iron rods
Very well, thank you Liz! Hope you're the same. Shuttling between the computer and the garden. I thought of "emerging iron rods" or "emerging rebars". Ah, and I see Chris has stepped up too!
Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree MatthewLaSon : Hello! How are you? Perhaps "round iron rod outlets"? Take care.
