From specifications from Spain related to a hydroelectric power plant, for translation to British English.
"Se cuidará el diseño del cierre hidráulico del pistón, para minimizar las fugas de aceite de una cámara a otra del servo, y distanciar en el tiempo las maniobras de relevación"
"No se considerará admisible mas de una maniobra de relevación al día con compuerta abierta, durante el periodo de garantía del suministro, ajustándose el margen de relevación en medio metro."

pposition correction operations
I think "relevar" in this context means "re-elevar", ie, "elevar de nuevo". It looks like this is a hydraulic control system, and if hydraulic fluid leaks past the piston in the hydraulic cylinder, the piston will start to move out of position, requiring readjustment of its position when the movement of the "compuerta" reaches half a metre (although I don't quite see how the "servbo" gets into this). These specs say that only one such adjustment per day will be considered acceptable.

Obviously, I meant "position", with one "p".
