Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering | | Spanish term or phrase: a media ladera | Se ha adoptado un criterio según el cual el vertedero deberá ubicarse en áreas con pendientes inferiores a 40º sexagesimales. Por otro lado, y debido a la facilidad constructiva de los vertederos **********a media ladera***********, así como la necesidad de evacuación de pluviales, se plantea que la pendiente inferior sea superior a 4º, de forma que no se originen encharcamientos en el entorno del área de vertido.
The media ladera, this I understand as the convenience of building half way up a hill, but how could I phrase this more elegantly and scierntifically? |

| | hillside | Explanation:
when I have come across this expression before, it hasn't meant "exactly half way up some slope", but on the side of a hill/slope.
This is also the translation given for this expression in Robb's diccionario para ingenieros. |
