Spanish term

esp

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
This is from a document describing the facility for washing fabrics using special techniques.

"Esta estructura ha sido construida en perfil estructural de acero galvanizado, tipo tubo cuadrado de (100x100x2 esp.) para las columnas, provisto de placas base para fijación tanto al suelo como a la cubeta y completamente arriostrado con perfil angular de (40x40x4 esp)."

Any ideas what "esp." means here, please? Is it "especificación" (in which case, would I just leave it out since it is obvious)?

Many thanks for any help

gauge

As the dimensions are 100 x 100, and I think the 2mm esp. is probably "espesor", so 2mm gauge 100 x 100 square-section tubing, or something similar.
Note from asker:
Thank you Matt, that looks very convincing!
