are being performed

English to French Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation
Dans un questionnaire sur les risques d'incendies :

"Are ground-fault circuit interrupters installed on each temporary 15 or 20 ampere, 120 volt AC circuit at locations where construction, demolition, modifications, alterations or excavations are being performed?"

Je ne vois pas bien ce que signifie "are being performed" dans ce contexte.

Merci !

Non-PRO (1): Philippe Etienne

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Are ground-fault circuit interrupters installed on each temporary 15 or 20 ampere, 120 volt AC circuit at locations where construction, demolition, modifications, alterations or excavations are being performed?"

Cela signifie : Des interrupteurs XX sont-ils présents dans les endroits où les travax de construction, de démolition, de modification, d'altération ou d'excavation sont en cours ?
Note from asker:
Merci. En fait, je viens de comprendre la question, il s'agit tout simplement de savoir si ces disjoncteurs sont installés dans les différents endroits où ont lieu ces types de travaux... Je crois qu'il est temps que je fasse une pause ;-)
Peer comment(s):

agree DH Voice Artist : J'aurais dit ça aussi. @demandeur : je sais ce que c'est quand on ne voit plus dans quel sens prendre la question ;-) ! Oui il est temps de faire une pause

"Are being performed", dans ce contexte, veut dire " are being carried out ".

Donc "....des endroits où des modifications, des excavations…. sont effectuées (ou sont en train d’être …).
