Deflections? Detours? (As you can see, I'm groping at straws here...)

TIA.

Discussion

Edward Tully Feb 3, 2009:
What a strange reaction, (although not without precedent) - if you have any relevant references then please post them. You do nobody any favours by posting irrelevant texts, least of all yourself. I hope you are having a nice evening too.
eski Feb 3, 2009:
Note to Edward: I gave the references; I seriously doubt that ANY reference would dissuade you from your course, ED: thankfully, I don't need to play your game: Hope you're having a nice evening.

diversion

In the context of what appears to be a heavy construction company, the the area of water management and hydroelectric projects (especially followed by restorations), I'd say "diversions," as in this famous project:

Building The Diversion Tunnels
Diverting The Colorado River Around Hoover Dam Construction
