Spanish term or phrase: cimbra autolanzable
"Cimbre" is falsework - used to support concrete whilst it sets.

I cannot find a meaning for "autolanzable" that appears to make complete sense.

self-launching
Explanation:
in association with "forms" (concrete) >>> http://www.cifausa.com/other_products.html; "gantry" >>> http://www.finleymcnary.com/project17.htm; "truss" (cuchillo de armadura - for bridges, etc.) >>> http://www.pubs.asce.org/ceonline/paradise.html, etc.

And I believe it's 'cimbra', not 'cimbre'...

Thanks for taking time to add the references. I did not want to guess at "self-launching". The fax I received this job on was not the clearest I have read!
