Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Shipyard instalation manu
Portuguese term or phrase: caboucos
As armaduras serão preparadas no estaleiro geral da empresa e deslocadas para a obra já montadas.
Serão iniciados os trabalhos de execução das estruturas dos edifícios, imediatamente após o movimento de terras e abertura de caboucos.
Será executado o trabalho nas fundações nomeadamente com a execução das sapatas de pilares e dos lintéis de fundação.

What this word means. Upon my search, I found that cabouco is a place in Portugal but it does not fit here.
