Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Dam construction
Portuguese term or phrase: munhões
taken from a technical report on dam construction, as per the below context.
The only thing I have found is Trunnion or Gudgeon, pin, stud but none of these terms would make sense within the below context?



``construção das Ensecadeiras M6, M5 e J5 em paralelo às atividades de montagem e término das obras civis (Bacia de Dissipação / liberação dos munhões / conclusão dos muros / liberação dos últimos vãos``

agree  Mario Freitas: Muito boa a reportagem, John. As matérias da NG são mesmo de alto nível. Eu já tinha visto algumas matérias sobre Itaipu feitas no Brasil, mas sempre muito resumidas, sem comparação. Obrigado!
