in-survey vs out-survey

English translation: inside and outside the dredged areas

16:54 Jul 6, 2006
English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Geology / dredging
English term or phrase: in-survey vs out-survey
The quantity of siltation accumulated in the dredged areas during the winter period will be determined by *in- and out-survey*.

Would you be so kind as to explain these terms. Thank you.

Selected answer:inside and outside the dredged areas
Explanation:
My guess: if the amount of silt inside and outside the dredged area at the end of the previous summer period is known, the outside area is surveyed to determine the decrease in silt and the inside area to determine the increase in silt. Probably other factors also have to be determined about silt being redistributed in both areas without being transferred from one to the other.
