Finnish term

tmv.

Finnish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Asbestos
Main Item: safety instructions for processing plant, FI-EN-GB

Section concerning dismantling of structures containing asbestos.

phrase: "läpivientejä tmv. "

"tmv." is something that should be done in advance to clarify if the structures to be dismantled contain asbestos.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

agree Timo Lehtilä : Yes, but 'läpivienti' means 'inlet' and tmv. in this context means 'similar structures (as inlets)', referring to, I guess, structures where asbestos might have been used as insulator.
