Japanese term

重近作業

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Nuclear Eng/Sci
Hello,
I am translating a 工事リストhere and this particular term comes up in pretty much all entries.

For example,

配管SP室重近作業

トレンチ室重近作業

電源室重近作業

I would really appreciate any help.

I am always leery of treating sth as a mistake, especially if repeated.
I don't have an answer, but have you explored whether it may be a compound of two words like 重⚫️近⚫️? Eg, it could be the name of a contractor (重機近畿工業) or something like that.

Also, items you list all concern rooms/shacks? Do all the items? Might that be significant?
cinefil Jul 20, 2014:
重筋作業? 重筋作業 腕や脚など、身体全体の大きな筋肉を使い(動的な仕事、等張性筋収縮)、仕事で身体のエネルギーを消費するものを重筋作業(重筋労働)といいます。例えば、土木建築現場でスコップやハンマーなどの道具を用いて穴を掘ったり、コンクリートを割ったりする作業です。全身の筋が収縮と弛緩が繰り返されるため、血液の循環は速められ、心臓の鼓動や脈拍も激しく、呼吸は乱れ、汗が出る、顔は真っ赤になるなど肉体的負荷が強い作業です。

According to cinefil's definition, the English term would probably be one of the above two phrases. "physical" could be dropped perhaps.

配管SP室重近作業 - pipe work labor

トレンチ室重近作業 - trench (digger) labor

電源室重近作業 - generator room labor
