Paola Battagliarini Dec 5, 2012:
Thank you Jim!
James (Jim) Davis Dec 5, 2012:
Your perfectly right Paola in the cold light of day it is pretty obvious these are embankments. My apologies to Mnuar.
Paola Battagliarini Dec 5, 2012:
if surveys were meant, I think the Italian word would be "rilievi" or "rilevamenti"

[airport] embankments

What they mean here is an artificial bank raised above ground level. Another term for this is 'terrapieno' (see Wiki link where the term 'rilevato' is used as a synonym):

neutral Tony Shargool : I think it could be technically correct, but 'survey' is more convincing in the context

It's more or less the same translation. I didn't realize you had already answered before me.
neutral Tony Shargool : I think it could be technically correct, but 'survey' is more convincing in the context.
