Spanish term

Trazado

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Hi guys,

This is referring to designing/building railway and metro systems and appears as follows:

"trazado y movimiento de tierras"

I see "layout" is the most common translation, but "routing" just sounds much more natural.

What would be the most common term in this context?

Thanks!
Nick

More context, please With so little context, there at least a couple of possible interpretations of the meaning here, especially of "trazado." Please give us at least a paragraph or two. Thanks

layout

MEng Civil Engineering summer placement case study at Amey - quote from student below. Also below, a study on layout planning in large earthmoving projects. Both refer to roads but this Network Rail release refers to the "Proposed end state track layout" (https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-routes... ), and this one from Trimble Railway solutions also refers to layout rather than routing, "solutions for building construction include layout and information
management tools for interior and exterior trades". (https://trimble-railway.com/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/20... ). I believe it's to do with the actual layout of the site rather than just the route the tracks/roads take (unless the conext your text has suggests otherwise).

Example sentence:

Within my role at Amey I helped on small scheme work for Bedfordshire Highways, which included design and assessment of highways structures, road layouts, retaining walls, bridge detailing and drainage.
