Italian term

fondale

Surveying
Nothing to do with seabeds or backdrops!
This is about investigating subsidence in a building that has become dangerous
E.g. Monitoraggio dei terreni fondali e sub-fondali. OR indagare la stratigrafia fondale
I'm 99% certain it means "at foundation level" or the "bed" of the foundation trench, but neither my specialist technical dictionaries, nor any bilingual website I can find offer any confirmation.
Any evidence gratefully received.
