English to French Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Travaux de terrassement

The concrete, referred to in sub-Clauses 6(i) and 6(iii) of this Clause, permanently exposed on the *face of the cutting* shall have surface features as nearly as possible matching those of the adjacent intact face.
