From a seemingly endless budget proposal for the building of a factory (Esp de España > British English).
From the "SANEAMIENTO EXTERIOR" section
-Tapa y marco de fundición dúctil de diámetro libre 60cm, apta para una sobrecarga D-400.
- Pates de PP cada 30cm.
Incluye todos los elementos necesarios para la instalación correcta.
Elsewhere pp, p.p and PP have meant "proportional part" but I don't see that here
As for "pates", this is first and only use

PP (polypropylene) manhole steps
I'm deleting my first answer as a quick google search turned this up. "Pates de PP" appears to be referring to steps embedded into the wall of the well. (e.g. http://www.benito.com/en/covers_and_grates/round_manhole_cov...
They used to be made of steel and referred to as "step irons" (e.g. the name of the page in this link: http://pipejack.co.za/Pages/Step-Irons.asp), but calling them irons might be a bit confusing if they are bulk polymer (rather than just polymer coated). It seems the trend is towards the former, 100% polyproplyene moulded steps (http://iverna2000.com/en/news/polypropylene-manhole-steps-ur...
