Erweiterung von Tagebaugruben
LEO: open pit = Tagebau; according to the Wikipedia article on open pit mining, open cut is a synonyme. <BR>
"to cut back" usually means "to reduce", but that doesn't make sense in this case. According to some references, cutbacks are used to expand the pit. Similarly, the German "Abbau" also has several meanings. <P>I don't have an exact translation of cutback in this context. The following reference may help: http://www02.abb.com/global/abbzh/abbzh250.nsf/0/de22370f17f...$file/ABB+Deutschland+im+Minen-+und+Tagebau.pdf. Quote: Das größte Projekt für ABB beinhaltet die Erweiterung des Tagebaus Tamnava West mit einer neuen Vorschnittlinie, bestehend aus einem Schaufelradbagger, fünf Antriebsstationen, der Energieversorgung und einem zentralen Leitstand.
