Spanish term or phrase: pavimentación P.B.
This is from a feasibility study for an industrial plant: "Paquete previo a pavimentación P.B.: sobre base de suelo compactado, 10 cm macadam + 10 cm aislamiento + Film PE + Presolera HA-25 10 cm + 10 cm poliestireno extruido"
I can't find references to "pavimentación P.B.".
