Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Building a road
Portuguese term or phrase: drenagem e obras de arte correntes
From a report detailing all the work involved in building a road. The following paragraph is headed Drenagem e obras de arte correntes:

"Estes trabalhos dizem respeito à conceção de um sistema de drenagem de águas pluviais e internas na zona da obra, garantindo a continuidade do sistema natural existente e protegendo a estabilidade da estrada a construir.
Incluem-se ainda todos os trabalhos necessários à correção dos impactes negativos causados pela construção da estrada no sistema de drenagem das águas superficiais, fazendo a reposição, restabelecimento e proteção de linhas de água. Neste momento estão em execução os trabalhos de drenagem transversal profunda com a implantação de aquedutos tubulares metálicos e as respetivas estruturas de entrada e saída de aquedutos."

Thanks in advance.
