Portuguese term or phrase:Escoras de Desvio
Viga de Lançamento Inferior – Principais Componentes
Operações para um ciclo de betonagem
¾ Descida da Viga
¾ Recolha das Escoras de Desvio
¾ Abertura das estruturas transversais
¾ Ripagem transversal
¾ Avanço
¾ Subida da viga
¾ Fecho das estruturas transversais
¾ Desmontagem, transporte e montagem das consolas
¾ Armação das Escoras de Desvio
¾ Betonagem
¾ Pré‐esforço no tabuleiro
I think this refers to a launch gantry that descends and pick up segments to install them on a bridge. I think that the "escoras" are segments or moulds that need to be filled with concrete once installed.

Explanation: Hi,
I have posted this suggestion, mainly because I am unable to find "deviated struts", although "deviated saddles" exists:)
I understand that this is so the vertical load from the bridge can be spread/reduced/dispersed

Escoras e selas de desvio
As escoras de desvio são perfis tubulares rectangulares, cuja finalidade consiste em desviar os cabos de pré-esforço e na transmissão da força de desvio para a estrutura metálica. As selas de desvio são peças que se localizam na parte inferior das escoras de desvio e visam desviar o cabo de pré-esforço, sem ferir as bainhas dos cordões. Para atender a este efeito, as superfícies de contacto das selas com os monocordões encontram-se revestidas com politetrafluoretileno (PTFE). Para permitir a recolha dos cabos, as selas encontram-se dotadas de um sistema de abertura que possibilita uma constante adaptação da sua posição e, deste modo, um funcionamento compatível com a rigidez dos cordões.

I get the idea that these struts are load-bearing or weight-bearing (in that they deflect the load on the bridge)
anyway, I hope this helps.
