My comment:

That's for "couronne d’orientation". I don't see "brides" in your context, it could have different translations depending on its shape and function.

Exactly. 'Brides' only appears in the title "Brides et couronnes d’orientation"; after that the only reference is to the 'couronnes'. It's for wind farm construction.

Flange and yaw bearing http://www.motiva.fi/myllarin_tuulivoima/windpower%20web/en/tour/wtrb/yaw.htm http://www.motiva.fi/myllarin_tuulivoima/windpower%20web/fr/tour/wtrb/yaw.htm La bride refers to the mating flange between the yaw mechanism and the fixed mast. There is also a slewing drive for blade pitch control, but that's not what they're talking about here. Won't let me give a second better answer, so I give it here.
