Ah, well, in that case maybe it is the place were "montage en blanc" (trial erection) is done. In the case of many large prefabricated structures, before shipping to site for erection, they (or parts of them) are assembled in the workshop to check that what looked good on the computer drawings actually works in practice, and also to check that machining tolerances are OK, etc. In which case, "trial erection shop"?
