Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / contrato de servicio de parque móvil
English term or phrase: Corporation Yard
En este contrato de servicios aparece este término. Yo diría que es una "cochera", pero no estoy segura. Aquí va el con contexto:

Corporation Yard and Maintenance facilities

Describe the proposed location(s) of the corporation yard for vehicle parking, container storage, vehicle and equipment maintenance facilities, and offices.


Muchas gracias por adelantado.

agree  Adriana Martinez: Sí, exacto, es como lo describes. Aunque recuerdo leer y escuchar sobre "parque industrial" pero eso no tiene el mismo sentido. Agree!

neutral  Henry Hinds: But... "parque" means "fleet", not where you park them. "Flota" also means "fleet", but I have seen "parque" used as such even in Spain (long memory, last visited Spain in 1965). It's another of those "false friends".

  -> I'd say "flota" means "fleet", at least in Spain.

corporation yard
solar / terrenos de la empresa


Explanation:
Un "yard" es un espacio abierto, sin techo. Sin embargo, "patio" en España, aunque tiene este significado, también denota que el espacio no es muy grande o así lo creo. Meter en un patio aparcamiento, contenedores... me parece mucho.
De ahí mis propuestas, aunque no sean exactas.
