Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
Spanish term or phrase: tojeo
The document is a report concerning a mining accident. Among the causative factors listed are a failure to identify a weak spot in the rock, deficiencies in the components to strenthen the mine tunnel, and "Tojeo inadecuado" -- an inadequate something, which I don't find in any standard dictionary. Help will be greatly appreciated.
