Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / dam/spillway construction
Portuguese term or phrase: lançamento do jato da concha
A jusante da estrutura foi projetada uma ponte de acesso, estabelecida abaixo da cota de **lançamento do jato da concha** (El. 160,00 m) provida para utilização apenas na fase de construção e manutenção do aproveitamento.

Is this anything to do with 'hydraulic jump'? 'Concha' implies some sort of bowl, but I'm not finding any terminology for that in relation to dams and spillways - closest I can get is 'flip lip'....can anyone help? Thanks.
