Spanish term

riego de imprimación y de curado

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Road construction
This is an article (partly in Spanish and partly in butchered English) on the use of construction and demolition waste in road construction. Here is the context:

Taking into account these considerations, it could be possible increase the application of materials in pavimentos de hormigón, ** riego de imprimación and de curado**, artificial granular structural layer, gravacemento and suelocemento, and finally in roadbeds.

prime coat / seal coat

Really and trulu you should have asked two questions, as these are two separate terms.

I agree that riego de imprimación = prime coat = of penentration grade, goes under binder course

1. What are Prime Coats?

Many pavements particularly lower traffic pavements are constructed with gravel or granular material. Often roads have been constructed as gravel roads and an upgrade is required. If Emulsions are applied directly to granular pavements, especially high binder content chip seal emulsions or very quick set slurry emulsions they can fail to wet the surface of the pavement creating poor adhesion. A prime coat can over come this.
In the past prime coats have been based on cutbacks but VSS Emultech Emulprime 1000T™ is based on a special emulsion.

Prime coat
An application of asphalt primer to an absorbent surface. Often used to prepare an untreated base for an asphalt surface. The prime coat penetrates or is mixed into the surface of the base and plugs the voids, hardens the top and helps bind it to the overlying asphalt course.

riego de curado = seal coat = goes on top of surface coat

What is Seal Coating?
Seal Coating is a thin asphaltic treatment used to protect pavement surfaces from UV radiation and oxidation. Seal coat may contain asphaltic or coal tar emulsion, fillers, sand, polymer latex, fibres and pigments. It depends on the application.

Seal coat
A collective term for several different kinds of thin surface treatments used to improve the surface texture and protect an HMA surface. Seal coats include fog seals, slurry seals, microsurfacing, and BSTs.

Pamela, Nikki is right. The terms "riego de imprimación" and "riego de curado" carry in spanish slightly different meanings. A "riego de imprimación" is a prime coat applied on a granular untreated subgrade, to promote bonding and fill the voids. A "riego de curado" is a waterproofing or sealing coat that is applied on a treated (with a cementitious binder, for instance a ciment-bound graded agregate or soil) subgrade. The two alternatives that I am giving you are translations for "riego de imprimación".

I also think this query should be made in two separate questions.
