'Stran' / 'strand' I agree with Margaret's 'span/section' interpretation for this context. But I wanted to add a caution-or-query on Imatahan's interesting 'stran'. I suspect that the word is a typo that was meant to be 'strand' by the contributors in each of her ref sources. 'Strand' can be a 'string' or 'thread' of things, a 'series'; or it can be a 'stretch of land (often if it extends alongside or out into a body of water)'.
But if there's a separate word 'stran', which I've been unable to find in my sources, I'd appreciate some input from colleagues to clarify it, so that I can use it, myself, where it's appropriate. Regards to All!

More context One company will pay the other bonuses for the square metres installed (metal standing seem roofs) during a one-year period. This sentence specifies how the bonus is applied per square metres, but not "por los tramos". Está más claro?
