From a due dilligence report from Spain for translation to British English, under a section on the construction of a block of commercial buildings:
"La zona norte de este local sí está realizada en estructura de hormigón con forjado de hormigón reticular de bovedilla perdida, y no se interviene estructuralmente en la reforma."

covered concrete waffle slab base
hormigon reticular = waffle slab.
When slab is poured , it is covered with a thin layer of concrete thus hiding the "waffles".

Resembling the food after which they are named, concrete waffle slabs are reinforced concrete floors and roofs that use a square grid of deep sides.
Ribbed and waffle slab - Concrete Centre

Ribbed and waffle slabs. Ribbed and waffle slabs provide a lighter and stiffer slab than an equivalent flat slab, reducing the extend of foundations.

The northern part of the site is constructed in sectional reinforced concrete hidden under a top slab/ layer, and does not interfere structurally (i.e, with the already existing development) in the redevelopment.

From the limited context, it appears possible to discern that this could be referring to sections of the footings which form part of the overall network of footings/ supports, etc., and that 'bovedilla' here may be referring to the hollowed out " vaults" which are filled with reinforced concrete, and/ or to the 'top layer' of these, possibly at ground level; does the context give any more clues?

reinforced concrete slab with buried formworks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E62RE7IKX6I at 2:03 you can see what a forjado looks like
Reinforced concrete slab (often abbreviated to "r.c.slab" or simply "r.c.") is the foundation layer of most large modern buildings.
When built onsite, concrete formworks (the bovedillas) are arranged in a grid with "ribs" (nervios in Spanish) of iron re-bar running between the formworks to provide additional strength and then a covering layer of concrete is poured over the entire grid form (see video above)
to see what bovedillas look like do an image search of the term, basically similar to cinderblocks except of concrete and larger.
