Spanish term

reventones

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Not a blow-out or burst preventer etc., it is a kind of aid for levelling though I have different contexts. Any ideas appreciated.

- El mortero debe tener un espesor máximo de tre ( 3 ) cm y uno y medio ( 1,5 ) cm mínimo, colocando las piezas a hueso y a hilo nivelándose según maestras con raseros de madera, verificando alineamiento y nivel con ayuda de reventones, reglas y nivel.

- Previamente en la superficie donde se coloca el yeso se deben fijar a ésta unas maestras del mismo material a plomo y regla, a una distancia en ambos sentidos de uno con ocho décimas ( 1,80 ) m, unidas con hilos ( reventones ) que sirven de guía. (threadguides?)
----
- Se trazan los ejes de los cimientos, se colocan reventones a ambos lados de los ejes y se procede a la excavación, la cual debe tener la holgura mínima necesaria para que se pueda construir el tipo de cimentación proyectada.




This is Mexican Spanish into US.

mason's lines

This is probably the most correct term, though they are often called "guide lines", "string lines" or just "lines".

Here's a definition of "reventón" in a construction glossary. It's from Costa Rica, but I'm sure it's valid for Mexico too:

"Reventón
Hilo de algodón o plástico que sirve para trazar, o bien como referencia para tener una sola línea. "
http://www.cemexcostarica.com/ce/ce_co_gl.asp

Here's a reference from the UK:

"A taut string line should be established as a guide to line and level for each course or section of paving. "
http://www.pavingexpert.com/rigidbpv.htm

And from the US:

"How to Pour Concrete [...]
Tools and Materials
Concrete Mix, Groover, 2x4s and Other Material for Forms, Garden Hose, Long 2x4s for Screed, Edger, Level, Mason's Line [...]"
http://paint-and-supplies.hardwarestore.com/learning/how-to-...

"After laying two or three blocks, align them to the chalk line or to a stretched mason’s line. Tap them into alignment with the handle of the trowel."
http://www.diycentral.com/how-to-lay-cement-block-1251/

"Form and Pour a Concrete Slab [...]
Stretch a strong string (mason's line) along the top edge of the form board. As you set the braces, make sure the form board lines up with the string."
