S Ben Price (asker) Feb 15, 2009:
! Telecommuncations and power cables, the Deutsche Bahn also does come into play, they evidently provide grounding/earthing in some locations.
David Moore (X) Feb 15, 2009:
Ben, what IS your customer laying: cable - ordinary HT cable and drainage pipes, or what? And is it indeed attached to a more heavyweight engineering programme - such as casper's posting might suggest - like a railway line?

(cable) troughing

Possibly worded as "construction of underground pipework and cable troughing.
"Cable troughing" may not be in common use outside the railways, but if the DB is involved, then there is every reason to use the expression. That's what it is almost always called in railway terms, where the "troughs" are usually laid alongside the tracks.

And here are a couple of sites:

Peer comment(s):

agree Bernd Runge : obwohl sich section ja mehr auf die begrenzte Länge bezieht. Vielleicht wäre ja trough routing eine Option.

Hmmm...you have a point there, Bernd. Thank you :)
agree Michael Harris : With Bernd

Thank you, Michael
agree Peter Craggs : Trasse is the routing or line of (in this case) troughs.

Ok, I see trough lines is not ideal. How about trough routes or trough routing (as Peter wrote below).
Peer comment(s):

disagree Bernd Runge : ... für die Referenz.
