The text to be translated is a complaint letter to a construction company who has performed a turnkey project (gas plant) for a client. The client is now complaining about missing signalling of trenches:
Tras su última visita a nuestra planta para analizar la ausencia de señalización de zanjas y tuberías enterradas, les agradeceríamos que nos indicasen los pasos y fechas que plantean seguir para poder corregir este defecto. Les sugerimos que definan el tipo de losa de señalización y que remitan un listado completo de los textos que deberán reflejar, y que deberán estar referenciados a unas coordenadas de planta.

Note from asker:
| I finally decided together with the client that we translate it literally as "signalling slab" because the document was only for internal purposes (engineers). However, I wouldn't enter it like this in the Proz glossary because this is certainly not the correct technical term, which I was unable to figure out. |
| Exactly, I'm not happy with it either but the client is king... |
| None of them - it's a German client with international staff, thus they need all documents in English so that the engineers from France, Italy, Portugal etc. can understand the technical documentation... |
Something went wrong...
