delimitación de tendidas
Spanish to English
Other
Agriculture
This is from an Argentine legal document involving forestry. A list of services to be provided (which include planting, preparation of the land, etc) by the company starts:
TAREAS PREVIAS: Apertura de rumbos. Delimitación de tendidas.
Does anyone know what "tendidas" is here?
Thanks in advance.

delimiting power lines
Or power line installations (pylons, high-tension cables... etc)
DRAE:
Tendido/da: Conjunto de cables y otras cosas que constituyen una conducción eléctrica.

They have to decide where the power lines will go...

Perhaps it does mean "plots" - forestry certainly has a lot of weird recondite vocabulary of its own, but I'm sticking with my suggestion, although as CD notes, the usual spelling is "tendido". It wouldn't be the first time someone got their gender concordances wrong though...

Thanks, although apparently it's a made-up word they use in Argentine forestry instead of "parcela". Go figure...

Reference:
delimitation of plots
I was about to post this as an answer, but Marga posted first.
Or "delimiting plots", of course, if you prefer.
I don't say "tendidas" can't mean power lines, though I think that's usually "tendidos". But I've found this Argentine document on pine forestry which clearly identifies "tendidas" as meaning "parcelas", and I think that makes very good sense in the context:
Unfortunately it's a typescript in pdf and isn't searchable. The Google result gave me "...sitio en parcelas ("tendidas") más facilmente comprobables". But I've also found this in it:
"Apertura de rumbos y parcelamiento ("tendidas")."
http://64.76.123.202/new/0-0/forestacion/biblos/pdf/1991/34-... (p. 9, near foot).
This fits your context very well. The word "tendidas" is used a number of times, and if you have the patience to read through the document I'm sure you'll find further combination.
"Plots" seems to be the word:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_inventory#Types_of_sampl...
"When tree density is being measured, the delimitation of plots of up to a hectare or acre in area, presents some difficulties and is time-consuming."
http://newzealandecology.org.nz/nzje/free_issues/ProNZES17_1... (Introduction, near start).
"This approach might be useful in broader studies of forest composition, eliminating the often time-consuming delimitation of plots"
http://books.google.es/books?id=f2fghtp8lA0C&pg=PA304&lpg=PA...

Well, you can give me an "agree", Lucía, and thank you very much for doing so :) But Marga's (Smartranslators') answer is right, I believe, and deserves an "agree" too.

Cheers, Neil. Thanks for the extra ref. Pretty strange use of the word, but there you go.
