French term or phrase: cône d’envole
Hi all,

Hope all's well!

I'm translating a construction site welcome pack from French (France) into English (United Kingdom) and am having trouble with a phrase.

The phrase in question appears in the overview section for the construction site and sets out the risks relating to building components. Please see below for full context:

"Levage : cône d’envole, interférence entre grues = mise en place obligatoire de plan de levage"

Does anyone know the technical term for this please?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)
