French term

en chaudronnerie

French to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology
This is referring to a settling system to separate suspended solids from rainwater. I have only found "chaudronnerie" as boilerwork or, more generally, metalwork - is it acceptable to say that the tank is made of "metal" or "concrete"? Metal just seems a bit vague to me.

Il se caractérise par un réservoir cylindrique (en chaudronnerie ou en béton (cas de XXX) dans lequel est situé au centre une colonne centrale en acier Inox 304 se terminant par un tronc de cône destiné à aiguiller les décantats vers le fond du vortex pour y être récupérés par pompage pour être envoyés dans la conduite de refoulement.

Thank you

Yes..."boiler-type" construction: welded sheet metal, but a boiler is built for high pressures. This is open to the atmosphere , the idea being to aerate the sludge.

boiler-type construction?

Yes, of course. I only thought that "metal" on its own was not enough... Thanks.
