Tech/Engineering - Surveying / measurements for bridge building
Swedish term or phrase: differenssättning
Not a really useful sentence to give as context, but all there is, as this is an Excel table of potential risks when building a bridge: a bridge has a greater *differenssättning* than expected.
Advice appreciated.
