Regarding dam construction...
Los sedimentos que pasaran por los trampolines de los desagues de fondo causaran un desgaste muy significativo que incidira en altos costos de mantenimiento.
What might we call the part of the dam referred to by "trampolines" in English?

ski jump, or hydraulic jump
The water comes down the slope of the spillway and as the water enters the stilling basing it is forced upward. The shape of the the path of the water resembles a ski jump, thus its name.

: you are using a generic term, yet the question is about a specific term. Lydianette's ref is about landslide, not dams, nowhere is 'trampoline' to be found. As a side note, I used Robb for years and it is full of errors and omissions.
