Spanish term or phrase: muelles sobre pilotes
Context here is the design of mooring facilities and their anti-seismic capabilities, where the "pilotes" are piles used in the construction of the wharf or quay. "...según los requerimientos e hipótesis particulares de diseño y análisis requiridos para cada nivel de los muelles sobre pilotes". Are the "muelles" here jacks or caps? Or something else? Best wishes. Sian.
