Portuguese term

marco de ventosa

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
I can find this in catalogs of companies that manufacture things of concrete, but have no idea of the name in English. Here is the entire sentence:

Execução completa de marco ventosa, incluindo movimentos de terra, fornecimento, colocação, e vibração de betão, cofragem, decofragens, armaduras, fornecimento e ensaios de tubagens e acessórios em PEAD MRS 100 DN63 PN10 e em FFD DN 50 PN10, e de ventosa de duplo efeito em FFD DN50 PN10 com respetiva válvula de cunha elástica DN50 PN10, alvenarias, serralharias e todos os acessórios e trabalhos necessários.

Thanks!

Perhaps if somebody looks at the pictures, he/she might think (ah I know what that is, it is so and so...:)
I don't have a clue, having not seen one in my life, as far as I know.

This is exactly what a marco de ventosa is, apparently, however I have found no bilingual catalog or any other reference that would give me a handle on this ...

inspection chamber

Declined
These are inspection chambers, also known as manholes, which give access by a technician to the pipe connections within the chamber.

From the context, the company that undertakes the work will carry out all excavation, concrete pouring, etc. to create the inspection chambers. In this case it would appear that they are not pre-fabricated but will be built on-site.
