Hi Ivana
I think these are likely to be the above-ground units containing the various solenoid valves and unions constituting the header of an irrigation loop. The fact that they call them "colonnina" presumably reflects their geometry (a sophisticated stand-pipe similar to power and water points in marinas or camp sites, if you see what I am getting at). The word "omega" (top-hat section) in this context presumably refers to a typical housing style but it sounds like jargon to me.
It might be helpful (when searching for terminology) to know if your people are talking about garden irrigation systems with pop-up sprinklers etc or a full-scale agricultural system
Cheers
