Spanish term

en forma alternada.

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Estoy traduciendo un folleto sobre recalces de fundaciones. En una sección describe los pasos a seguir durante la ejecución del recalce:
"Se realizan las excavaciones del primer tramo del muro viga en forma alternada."

Por lo que entiendo de la frase se excavará una sección para construir el muro viga, se dejará otra sección sin excavar, y así sucesivamente. Supongo que es por medida de seguridad esto de realizarlo en forma "alternada".... Lo otro ya lo traduje pero no logro terminar la frase....

"Excavations for the first retaining wall are carried out....(?????)"

Gracias por su ayuda! Saludos.

As your context is located at the first section of a supporting beam (muro viga), you might say that digging shall be done at different points or parts.
Location, me da una idea de ubicación, o de una situación diferente o alejada y aquí se trata de excavar bajo el 1er. tramo de una misma viga muro.

I´ve also found "at alternating locations"..... which of all the options would sound more natural in English?....

@ meirs
Thanks for letting me know about the EN-ES mistake! I´ve already reversed the pair!
I don´t think "staggered" could work here...
meirs Nov 7, 2012:
One term can be staggered - but it is just an educated guess

Sistemas para el Recalce de Cimentaciones Superficiales
...En el caso de muros continuos la distancia entre zanjas abiertas simultáneamente debe ser igual, al menos, a 1 ½ veces su profundidad. Su ancho suele ser de 1 m y su longitud de 1.5 a 2 m.
Una vez terminado el primer recalzo se excavan los pozos 2 y se recalzan.
Una vez terminado el segundo recalzo, se recalzan los espacios intermedios.

Major foundation underpinning is typically done in the A-B slot method. For example every other 5' section of the foundation is underpinned (A), and subsequently the other 5' sections (B) are underpinned. This method is used to eliminate or minimize the need for shoring.
