Toppling /Dumping in the sea


Explanation:


L’operazione – ribaltamento si riferisce allo scaricamento a mare di sabbia, terra, ecc. per creare una piattaforma da usarsi come un’aria fabbricabile.

Toppling é il ribaltamento/rovesciamento di un recipiente (in questo caso una bettolina, la parte posteriore rotabile di un autocarro ecc.) che rende possibile lo scaricamento (dumping) del contenuto del recipiente.

Explanation:
seaward expansion (by reclamation/landfill)

Example sentence(s):
  • The Sestri expansion must still hurdle some obstacles. It depends on a commencement of work on the terzo valico rail pass through the mountains behind Genoa, which will provide the fill material for the seaward expansion of Sestri.
