Assistenza muraria agli impianti
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Muratura
Again this is a complete expression in a list of skills expected of masons or trainee masons.
I presume this refers to protective brick covering around things like electrical installations? What is an apt and pithy way of saying that in English?
All suggestions gratefully received

Comment: "Many thanks! I am still not entirely sure about it . I have chosen "service installations protected by masonry", an expression which contains something of both suggestions. It conveys the right idea and the from you comments reassured me that I understood what is meant. Once again: many thanks to everyone!"
