técnica de rebatimento
Explanation:
Eu não lhe chamaria uma "tecnologia". É apenas uma técnica.

Uma técnica "semelhante" às pontes pré-fabricadas militares em que as metades (uma em cada margem do rio) são rebatidas (i.e., rodadas e descidas), até se encontrarem a meio do rio. A frase indica uma construção muito maior.
