Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / underground metro construction
Portuguese term or phrase: aduelas
I am not too sure about the technical correct term for this. My own research leads me to the term ''staves' but I have only come across this term in the construction of barrels. I dont have much text to go on, but this was a pile of stacked sort of curved shell like inner bracing or shores which look as if they are used in tunnel or shaft construction.


Mesmo após a ocorrência do sinistro, as aduelas continuam sendo estocadas nas áreas circunvizinhas ao poço, conforme demonstramos nas fotografias abaixo.
