Norwegian term

steinsjeten

Norwegian to English Tech/Engineering Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
"Det vil bli rene grusmasser - oppmudret elvesand - fra xxxxx for oppfylling innenfor steinsjeten."

The stone area? No trace in any reference book I possess and only a handful of unenlightening comments on Google.

TIA

Peer comment(s):

agree Richard Lawson : "Sjeté" cognate with English word "jetty", once sometimes spelled "jetée", from OF "jetee". A more appropriate term might be "pier", "mole" or "breakwater" - difficult to say without seeing more of the context.
