Spanish term or phrase: desescombro
Hola de nuevo,

otra vez yo con el inglés británico. Tengo una duda con respecto a las tareas de desescombro que tiene lugar después de que un edificio se haya derrumbado.
L apóliza de seguros subre los daños por incendio, rayo, explosión... desescombro y demolición.
En este caso podemos denominar al desescombro como mopping-up operations?? rubble clearance?

Muchas gracias a todos,

:)
