Spanish term or phrase: paraguas de micropilotes
The term is simply listed among one of the services offered by the company without much context.
>>...posee en propiedad un amplio parque de maquinaria que dispone de las últimas tecnologías para la ejecución de los distintos trabajos especializados que requieren las obras subterráneas, como equipos hidráulicos y jumbos electrohidráulicos de perforación, paraguas de micropilotes, compresores, manipuladores telescópicos...
I see that this is translated into German as "Rorschirm," which has been translated here as "roof piping," but I've also found the term "forepoling," which looks similar in videos. What do you all think?

1. Introduction Umbrella Arch Method (UAM) or Forepole is a conventional and economical method in tunnel excavation, and is in use to increase the excavation front sustainability, minimize the land subsidence, and prevent debris rocks f

alling, tunnel faces’ breaking and landslides. In this strategy at first some holes will be drilled in a semi-circular pattern at a high point of the tunnel and around the tunnel crown. Putting some steel tubes into each of these holes and grouting them would form a strong umbrella arch tube above the tunnel crown. Pipes which are in-stalled in two consecutive steps, have overlapping length and for implementation of this overlapping, a certain angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the tunnel pipe will be taken in account. The main advantages of this method can be: stress reduction in drilling front, safety increase during drilling operations, simplicity of drilling operations and as a result increase in the drilling progress speed.

micropile reinforcement (for tunnelling)


Explanation:
The literal translation is "micropile umbrellas" or a "micropile umbrella arch", but I can't find any native English sources which use that term. Others just seem to generally talk about "micropiles".

http://www.dfi.org/ISM/Proceedings/1999/V - Session 2A - 3 -...

Since this seems to be one item in a list, I would suggest thinking laterally and going with a more general term of micropile reinforcement, which is what the example application of the equipment seems to be referring to.

agree  Charles Davis: "Umbrella arches" would be OK here, I think.
