Italiano term
fornelli

Industria edilizia/Ingegneria civile
Tunnel construction
"La maggior durata [dei lavori]... è stata causata da un evento di forza maggiore, in particolare a dei crolli in fase di realizzazione della galleria."
A footnote to the above, with the reference no. appearing after "realizzazione", states:
"Tali eventi, detti tecnicamente "fornelli" sono frequenti in fase di scavo di gallerie con basse coperture."
Any ideas as to whether this technical term has an equivalent in English?

: NOT with "slough". These are basically unplanned holes in the roof of a tunnel, in this context.
