"Su cimentación se diseñó con base en una losa cabezal apoyada en 25 pilas coladas en sitio, con una profundidad de hasta 30 metros."
This is the base for a airport control tower in Mexico. From a book on recent prizewinning concrete buildings.
Is there a technical term for 'losa cabezal'? Many thanks!

base mat
Another expression would be "pile cap", but it is mostly used for smaller, isolated foundations.

header slab
I think this may well be the correct term. A type of masonry header. I have checked references on the web but am unable to copy and paste from this device. But I hope this will help point you in the right direction.

Thank you Manuel, and I agree with you too that they must be talking about slab foundation here. Still accessing on my phone, so referencing is problematic. Happy New Year to you too!
