au droit de level with / in line with Explanation: Yes, Chris, it has! The meaning is always pretty much the same, but the way to render it in EN is always highly dependent on the actual geography of the particular situation! Here are just 2 suggestions that could be applicable in what seems to be your context, though I hope it is perhaps made clearer as your document unfolds. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 minutes (2017-10-15 08:03:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It depends a bit, I suppose, whether these basement beams are underneath where the bikes are going to be parke on the surface above (is that extra loading the reason for the beams... or is the fact the bikes are lighter than cars why smaller beams are being used? Or is this above the bike parking space in the basement? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 minutes (2017-10-15 08:04:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or of course it can even be 'opposite' or 'facing' — everything depends on the sense in which 'in line with' needs to be interpreted. |
