French term or phrase: remblais techniques et massifs
"L'avancement des travaux de route est de 30 %. Ils sont achevés sur la piste nord et ont commencé sur la piste XX, mais l'essentiel des travaux portent sur la création de la piste XX, en particulier les remblais techniques et massifs."

Can anyone help at all with the remblais term in this context please? The project is a pumped storage hydroelectric plant.

Many thanks.

Asker: Thank you, I'm familiar with the term "remblai" by itself, it's the "techniques" bit I'm wondering about. Whether it means something specific.
