construction
In the following sentence:
"Los arroyos de carpeta asfáltica que hayan sido demolidos se deben reponer con el mismo material."
My document refers to demolition of sidewalk and any other necessary for an underground high-tension cables line. The contractor has to restore what is demolished. I hope someone knows how to say "arroyo". This is not stream or creek.
Thanks in advance

surfaces with asphalt pavement
Los arroyos de carpeta asfáltica que hayan sido demolidos = Any surfaces with asphalt pavement that have been demolished
En este contexto, "surfaces", muy lógico y nada complicado.

: ¿"carpeta"?. That's a folder in Spanish, though in Spanglish might be said to mean "pavimento" in this case.

Gracias, Psicutrinius. That's standard Mexican usage. they tend to be a bit different. "Carpeta" is also "folder".

: Just curious, but with so many words in Spanish for "surfaces", why would they use "arroyos"?

Good point. In Mexico they use "arroyo de la calle" to describe the traffic or paved area of the street from curb to curb, "el niño fue atropellado en el arroyo de la calle". In Mexico use of language is a bit unique.

While Routledge (more reliable) only has references to watercourses, no roads nor gutters.
