Construction / Civil Engineering
Spanish term or phrase: privará
Cuando haya conflicto con otras normas y especificaciones a las cuales se hace referencia en este texto, la presente Norma privará en todos los aspectos concernientes al proyecto, la fabricación, el montaje, la construcción y el mantenimiento de las estructuras de acero o estructuras mixtas acero - concreto.

From a text of Venezuelan Steel Construction Standards. The meaning seems to be 'take precedence' NOT 'deprive' but I can't find this in any dictionary.
