Danish term or phrase: områdenær
En kunde har i forbindelse med en tekst om nogle geotekniske målinger brug for at oversætte "områdenær" til engelsk.

Det eneste jeg har er kundens citater:

"Ved granskning af fremsendt tidligere udførte områdenære geotekniske rapporter"

"Der er ikke truffet sprækket ler ved de ældre tidligere områdenære undersøgelser"

"local" may be more elegant, but "in the vicinity" matches the original meaning better - Danish also has the word "lokal"
