Spanish term or phrase: pintado del tirón
Oral testimony, talking about reading construction plans in order to make foundations under a power plant. "Ya se atisbaba que había este problema. Pero yo quisiera añadir una cosa: normalmente, cuando tú ves un proyecto de este tipo, que tiene definiciones complejas, lo que haces es racionalizar la armadura. Me explico: si hay que cortar un muro, que aunque venga pintado del tirón lo cortas, y si en un momento dado las posiciones de la losa son infinitas, son mucho mayores, lo que haces es homogeneizas por tramadas."
