This is from a health and safety report for a building.

"Coordinar con la empresa mantenedora que efectúe las revisiones de las BIE's del edificio en tiempo y forma, según establece la normativa actual vigente, y proceder a señalizar su presencia en su misma vertical con señales reglamentarias."

Many thanks for any guidance.

I'm going for "vertical surface" Just in case it has a broader meaning than just "wall", I'm going for "vertical surface"
matt robinson Oct 28, 2020:
Oops. Just edited my previous comment by mistake!
Helena Chavarria Oct 28, 2020:
I agree with both of you.
Comunican (asker) Oct 28, 2020:
Yes, that's my guess too Thanks, yes, that's my guess too, but why not just say pared, in that case...?
matt robinson Oct 28, 2020:
Yeah, "vertical support" might work, but I would be inclined to use "wall".

upright position

Work is done in co-operation (co-ordination) with the maintenance company which carries out reviews and inspections in the building's business technology (research) organization, on time and to standard, in line with the established current (present) routine systems, and proceeding to indicate this in the same upright (vertical) stance or position with regulatory markers (signs or signals).

BTO stands for business, technology, organization

A vertical line or position, stance is straight up and down.

I believe it's a sign-post beside a road to show that roadworks or other ground works beside a street could be taking place somewhere.
Example sentence:

"Co-ordinar con la empresa mantenedora de las BTOs del edificio en tiempo y forma, según establece la normativa actual vigente, y proceder a señalar su presencia en su mismo vertical con señales reglamentarias."

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you. I went for "vertical surface" in the end (although it almost certainly refers to a "wall", but, without photos attached to the translation, I was unable to tell for sure)"
