Spanish term or phrase: pocería
Got a short, but tough, text on building specifications.

CAPITULO 3.- POCERIA
Unidades necesarias de arquetas en obra de 0,4 x 0,4 sobre una base de hormigón con mallazo para evitar asientos.
Arqueta sifónica previa conexión a fosa séptica, realizada en obra y pulida interiormente.
Tubería P.V.C. apoyada sobre muretes de obra de diámetro 160 mm.

So it is preparing the waste water removal system, but how do we say this in English?
