cut and fill Explanation: As I understood your question is mainly about "corte e aterro" "but I cannot work out what the corte/aterro refer to" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_and_fill In earthmoving, cut and fill is the process of constructing a railway, road or canal whereby the amount of material from cuts roughly matches the amount of fill needed to make nearby embankments, so minimizing the amount of construction labor. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/portuguese_to_english/geology/3226... |
