English term or phrase: Sod-turning ceremony
Entiendo que es la ceremonia en la que una o varias autoridades agarran una pala y empiezan a "excavar" simbólicamente para dar el comienzo a una obra.

¿Existe algún equivalente en castellano? ¿O sería simplemente "la ceremonia de inicio de las obras?

Gracias.
