Spanish term or phrase: troncos
This is taken from a Mexican offshore oil rig document, and this part is referring to the various parts of the facility:

Columnas
Las columnas soportan el casco de la plataforma; dos columnas en popa y dos columnas en popa, las columnas están subdivididas en su interior por tanques principalmente de lastre, lodos, silos y troncos de tuberías, así como, dos troncos verticales para los elevadores eléctricos en las columnas de proa y escaleras en el interior de cada una de ellas que comunica el casco con los pontones.

pipe / shafts
Explanation:
This is what makes sense to me.
I'm talking about elevator shafts.

However, the original has errors. It repeats "dos columnas en popa".
I think they wanted to write "duas columnas en la popa y duas columnas en la proa".
