GALLERY — (1) A passageway within the body of a dam or abutment; hence the terms "grouting gallery," "inspection gallery," and "drainage gallery." (2) A long and rather narrow hall..."

It's true; plus there seem to be typos in the French text... Perhaps I should have been less confident. :o
agree Bourth (X) : Indeed, even if the "standard" French (dixit ICOLD) is galerie de contrôle.

inspection tunnel

I would have thought - although would need more context to be sure
Peer comment(s):

neutral Bashiqa : Seems logical but why the 'fil d'eau' coming into the 'tunnel'?
14 mins
Exactly - without any context we're all stabbing in the dark...
agree chris collister : As I read it, the fil d'eau is not necessarily intended (rain?), hence the need for "évacuation"

neutral Bourth (X) : Bearing on "Disagree": assuming this galerie is in a hydro dam, the term is "gallery", not "tunnel".
