Pölzung

German to English Law/Patents Insurance Construction

This is from a construction insurance contract. One of the things mentioned is "Schäden an benachbarten Bauwerken infolge Unterlassung sachgemäßer Pölzungen." What does this last word mean?

Here is an image of 'bracing': http://www.iceblock.net/iceblock/Bracing.html
It looks just like the image shown in John O'Brien's PDF link next to Verbauteil (construction part). The PDF link also suggests that the form with 'P-' is Austrian (AT).
