Hi Robin, I had this troublesome word in a translation recently and found some references in the archive, which might be helpful. Oddly, when I looked in Kudoz first, it didn't even come up.

excavation

I will interpreter this word to mean excavation (as earth, for foundation purpose) since the subject is plant for water purification.
Something went wrong...
