GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Materiales para la construcción
English term or phrase: "A housing"
La frase dice:

"The machine itself has not been covered with a housing yet. The impending commissioning of the machine is thus facilitated by its good accessibility".

En el diccionario técnico he encontrado housing como caja, pero no sé con exactitud cómo podría traducirlo...

"La máquina en sí todavía no se ha cubierto con ..." ??

Me gustaría escuchar vuestras opiniones sobre housing en este contexto.

¡GRACIAS!

"a housing"
alojamiento /cubierta exterior


Explanation:
Normalmente el alojamiento de una máquina se refiere a la estructura donde es fijada al piso. En este caso particular tal vez se podría hablar de "techo del alojamiento" o "cubierta exterior del alojamiento".
