Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: évacuation
This is a business plan for a boutique eco-lodge hotel in Colombia. It breaks down the investment needed for the project, and I'm a little unsure of what they mean by this term in this context.

INVESTISSEMENTS AU LANCEMENT (ANNEE N-­‐1)
Répartition de l’investissement total au lancement :
1 = Voyages de repérage et création d’entreprise (2%) 2 = Frais de marketing (1%)
3 = Achat terrain et construction de l’établissement (64%)
4 = Equipements fonctionnels, déco et loisirs de la structure (19%) 5 = Transit des marchandises, affrètements et évacuation (3%)

Explanation:
Because it's in section 5 with transit and chartering, I think it too refers to transport.

agree  ph-b (X): http://www.bernardi-logistique.fr/stas_index.php + some of the sites I've seen talk about removing packaging (etc.) from the site once the goods have been delivered.

  -> Thank you for the reference!
agree  Tony M: Yes, and it is a very common term used in specifications for setting up construction sites etc. — having goods delivered, then afterwards removing the waste / left-overs / old ones etc. clearance / disposal / removal
