Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / specification for road construction
Italian term or phrase: F.N
I think this is "fondo" something. Here's the context:

Fornitura e posa in opera di pozzetto di ISPEZIONE prefabbricato circolare, costituito da elementi in CLS vibrocompreso, atti a resistere a carichi di prima categoria; compreso lo scavo e la posa. Elemento di base con sagomatura a scorrimento per F.N / con decantazione per F.B, rialzo sino alla quota stradale di progetto (sino a 2,0 m di profondità), immissione fognoli, ( se non predisposti da eseguire con carottatrice), innesto tubazioni, fognoli ed elementi di rialzo con apposite guarnizioni di tenuta già predisposte nel manufatto, piastra di riduzione e botola in ghisa sferoidale "Brio" diam. 60 cm. D400 UNI EN 124.

Can't find this anywhere.
