Norwegian term

konstruksjon i prosjekteringsoppdrag

Norwegian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Little context for this one. The full sentence is: Eksempel 2 – K-tegning fra konstruksjon i prosjekteringsoppdraget på Mindemyren (entreprise D14) i informasjonsnivå 3.

Is there a single term for 'konstruksjon i prosjekteringsoppdrag' or should it be translated literally? eg. 'K-drawing from construction in design assignment at Mindemyren' - sounds clumsy to me :-/

(...) structure from the project commissioning

This sentence need to be translated in its entirety to get the full and correct meaning.

First of all, a K-tegning or K-drawing is a classifying term for technical drawings used by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. The K stands for konstruksjoner, which in this setting could be translated as structures. It refers to structures such as bridges, underpasses, tunnels, piers, etc. Other categories of drawings exist as well, such as G-drawings, which are technical drawings of drains, sewers and the like.

In the context of the full sentence, konstruksjon is a reference to the structure detailed in the aforementioned K-tegning. The entire sentence would be something like this:

Example 2 - K-drawing of the structure from the project commissioning at Mindemyren (enterprise D14) at information level 3.

I hope this helps.

the design phase of the planning assignment

(Many equivalents are possible. The important point is that "konstruksjon" has the sense of designing, and "prosjektering" has the sense of planning, e.g. establishing a time plan based on the applicable factors, in an engineering context.)
Broader phrase: K-tegning fra konstruksjon i prosjekteringsoppdraget = K-drawing from the design phase of the planning assignment.

Alternative 1: the design activities in the planning assignment.
Alternative 2: the design aspects of the planning task.
Alternative 3: the engineering design phase of the planning assignment.
Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Ellis : Both keywords can be translated differently in different contexts, but here TechLaw's explanation fits very neatly.
