I am very sure of these terms, but give the Answer a 'medium' confidence rating for the particular query context. In smaller construction settings, 'forms' and 'templates' are used to support construction material until the project is completed, so these should also be associated with 'cimbras/autocimbras' in the KudoZ glossaries.
In this context, with 20 to 70 meters of concrete (forms?) to be supported, 'gantries/launching gantries' could well be the proper interpretation and translation. Thanks to Liz and Nikki for the great refs. My own contribution is from my own (U.S.) construction experience, and from the Collazo and the Oxford technical dictionaries.
Regards, All!
