remaniés in this context is where I'm having trouble translating

Pour les ouvrages plus légers bâtiment annexe en RDC sans surcharge et/ou sollicitations particulières, il pourra être envisagé un système de fondations superficielles de type semelles filantes entrecroisées ou radier rigidifier ancrés dans la scorie indurée ou dans une couche de forme sélectionné et contrôlé après décapage des horizons superficielles remaniés .

Yes, In geology and soil science, a horizon is a specific and distinctive layer in a land area.
chris collister Sep 25, 2012:
A question of scale? I suspect the "horizon" is not the big wide flat space we normally think of, but simply a local feature which has been reworked/modified and then skimmed/flattened off.
