Italian term or phrase: assetto di una strada
We're talking about the construction of oil wells here. "When we developed the project
of this well, we had 3 options for transporting
equipment to 3300 metres. Avevamo l’assetto di una strada, la costruzione di una strada,o la costruzione di una teleferica." What's assetto in this context? Thanks

potra: 12:34 Aug 22, 2007: I tend to agree with CMJ Trans, 'upgrade' seems to best fit your context.
