Portuguese term or phrase: a caixa de transposição de lama
"... o projeto da caixa de transposição de lama para o dique 3 deveria ser executado conforme projeto."

I understand that "lama", in the case of tailings, is "slurry". Is there a technical term in EN for this "caixa"?

Thanks in advance...
