Greek term or phrase: Gross-beton

Refers to a parking lot surface. I know beton refers to concrete but I was only able to find this combination in Greek texts when I googled it. Sorry the keyboard I am using is not mapped for Greek fonts so I am unable to paste the context directly.

Document is an engineer's report describing a property/building and the surrounding land. Thanks everyone.
