@ asker You have classified the question under "Automotive / Cars & Trucks ", although "hat doch eher etwas mit 'Construction' zu tun." Would you like to reclassify the question under the appropriate category, please?
What is (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
Ja, ich glaube es hat doch eher etwas mit "Construction" zu tun. Ich bin auf "Foundation underpinning and tunneling" gestoßen.

Ich lag mit der Einstufen bei Kfz/Automobil offensichtlich nicht richtig.
What is (asker) Aug 12, 2010:
Hi, there is no context given. It's a list of damges covered by the insurance (Unterfangen / Unterfahren) is one of the points given among inundations, and earthquakes or tremors. Sorry.

However, it is all about vehicles and vehicles related damage.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Ulrike Kraemer Aug 12, 2010:
Mit Colin Bitte zumindest einen vollständigen Satz liefern, in dem die Begriffe vorkommen.
Colin Rowe Aug 12, 2010:
Context Please provide the sentence in which the terms occur!

underpinning (work) and driving under structures

Typisches Schadenbeispiel für Unterfangung / Unterfahrung:
Zur Herstellung eines Abwasserkanals muss eine Hausmauer unterfahren werden. Durch ungenügende Sicherungen entstehen Risse am Nachbargebäude.

“Einsturz, Teileinsturz, Spund- oder Rammarbeiten sowie das Unterfangen und Unterfahren von Altbauten (Klausel 55 ABN/ABU)”

I found both terms in my geotechnical engineering dico, Bucksch:
Unterfangen=underpinning
Unterfahren (= unterqueren)= driving under structures
Peer comment(s):
