sand trap Explanation: Translation (one of the possible) from both the Eurodicautom and Robb's diccionario para ingenieros. The former gives this definition: Pequeños depósitos colocados en lugares escogidos, a lo largo de un dren subterráneo, para recoger la arena y el fango y también para permitir la observación del funcionamiento del dren small basins placed at selected points along an underdrain to collect sand and silt,and also to afford an opportunity for inspection of the operation of the drain Scott's civil enginering dictionary has this to say: an enlargement in a channel to slow the current, which may also be a catch pit = a pit below the invert level of a surface-water ditch or sewer, formed at a place where it can be conveniently pumped or dug out. It catches grit and prevents it blocking less accessible parts of the stream. |
