Spanish term
sondeos & sondeos de testigo continuo
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Context: statistical techniques used to reconstruct a model of a slate deposit, so as to identify potentially exploitable areas.
The problem is that there isn't an exact equivalent in English in all forms of noun, verb, adjective etc.
Possible translations are boreholes, cores, exploratory drilling etc.
But I have to trandslate 'sondeos' and 'testigo continuo' as in the following extracts:
la reconstruccion del yacimiento a partir de una muestra de datos procedentes de un ***conjunto de sondeos*** (A SET OF BOREHOLES????)
la reconstruccion del yacimiento a partir de un ***conjunto de 10 sondeos de testigo continuo**** ( A SET OF ?????)
los ***testigos*** tuvieron un diametro de 63mm
(THE BOREHOLES????)
se dispuso de una muestra con n=1932 observaciones procedentes de *** los 10 sondeos*** (BOREHOLE????)
los datos de ****cada sondeo*** se dividieron en dos grupos... (BOREHOLE???)
Thanks in advance.

Estoy acostumbrado a usar boring, pero borehole también es correcto.

what about if you translate it as "test boring," and "continuous test boring/perforations

Perforation or bore holes
Bore holes is correct, but you could also use perforations.
Testigo continuo would be continuous core samples. This is the solid, cylindrical sample removed from the rock to analyse it's composition at varying depths.
Hope that helps.

borings and continuous coring borings
I agree with Robert above that borings is the term that rings more bells.
Having done some environmental investigation translations with an expert on the subject, continuous coring was the term used for testigo continuo
la reconstruccion del yacimiento a partir de una muestra de datos procedentes de un ***conjunto de sondeos*** (A SET OF BORINGS)
la reconstruccion del yacimiento a partir de un ***conjunto de 10 sondeos de testigo continuo**** ( A SET OF CONTINUOUS CORING BORINGS / or even SOIL BORINGS
los ***testigos*** tuvieron un diametro de 63mm
(CORES - this means lots of things, but here it's a cylinder of soil for later testing.

drilling / boreholes / drillholes / core
Hi tanto tiempo no?
to drill/Drilling and boreholes are pretty synonymous with each other and so you can use either (depending on context of course). Drillholes, are by their nature, often exploratory.
e.g. cada sondeo (each borehole)
conjunto de sondeos (a set of boreholes / drillholes).
testigos: usually "core" (and in this context seems to be so.

test drillings
for "sondeos":
"Under a $450,000 grant from the Massachusetts Highway Department, researchers spent four years copying and scanning archival records of test drillings done across the state."
(http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/rvp/pubaf/chronicle/v7/f4/hon.html)
Perhaps "continuous series" or "closely-spaced series" of test drillings works for "de testigo continuo".
Just my 2 cents.
