Spanish term or phrase: banco de material
Sé lo que significa: Es aquel depósito natural de arenas, gravas, piedra o cualquier otro material derivado de las rocas que sea susceptible de ser utilizado como material de construcción. ¿Pero como se dice en inglés? Creo que "quarry" es algo un poco diferente (aunque no estoy seguro). Gracias de antemano por sus sugerencias.
