Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / español de Nicaragua
Spanish term or phrase: trabajos de terracería
Sin mucho contexto, se refiere a labores en las etapas iniciales de una obra, supongo que significará "terraplenado" o algo así.

¿Alguien que conozca el español de Nicaragua, por favor?

agree  Thomas Walker: Without much context, I agree with Phil that the general term earthworks is probably best here. There are more specific terms for earth moving, foundation works, or other specific aspects of earthworks.
