Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how paveur appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le dosage devant la bétonnière est simple. Il faut doser à 350 kg – sous entendu 350 kg/m3 – soit 1 seau de ciment et 4,5 seaux de paveur. Il n'est pas très pratique d'avoir 4,5 seaux de paveur : le préposé à la bétonnière doit alors étalonner son coup de pelle.
