Spanish term or phrase: buzones / buzonetes
CATASTRO DE REDES DE ALCANTARILLADO.- La red de alcantarillado está compuesta por 10,072,121.15 metros de tuberías, contenidos en 530 archivos DWG que cubren un área de 1800 x 1000 metros cada uno, correspondiente a una lámina catastral y 183,063 buzones y 10,382 buzonetes digitalizados en DWG.

Again, these are obviously components of a water and sewage system.

Thank you.

Oh-I see it's for Peru. Could be "manhole" then, according to Robb.

What I'm left with is the understanding is that "buzones" refers to a "receptacle" of inderminate size, and "buzonetes" to receptacles to smaller than "buzones." I don't feel that solid, verified definitions by those with expertise in water and sewage systems has been provided, but I thank Barb for offering a "generically plausible" translation. :)

forget about inspection chambers

this has something to do with their filing system, hence the reference to DWG

now I understand

your query is part of the archiving system, and not the sewage system itself.
