May I request your help with deciding how the word 'aseguramiento' can be translated in the following sentences relating to mines?

Many thanks!

neutral  Maria Karra: Adriana, the first site shows a German URL, the third a Swiss one and I can't get it to work but it doesn't look relevant (ancoring of events), and the second discusses "spatial cognition" which isn't related to mining. What's "locational spatial sth"?

Explanation:
I don't see why "espacial" is necessary in this case. If we're talking about height/elevation in the same sentence, I think it's obvious that we're also talking about spatial position (what else could it be? Temporal? That wouldn't make sense to me). So I would translate "ubicación espacial" simply as "position" or "location".

Now about ASEGURAMIENTO: the first word that comes to mind and that is used in such context is "secure", but this is a verb and I assume you'd like a noun (unless you decide to use verbs everywhere, especially if these are instructions: Validate... and secure...). A noun you could use is "Check" or "verification". Verification of position (or even "of the correct position").

I changed my mind, after reading the sentence a few more times. I would probably translate it as "secured positioning".

Explanation:
Could be a good translation here, but I really don't see enough CONTEXT to be sure.
