Note from asker:
| Many thanks for your imput. I couldn't decide between "shoring" and "scaling" so I finally went for Henry Hind's interpretation of "amacice" - "stabilization". |

scaling
Scaling is the English word used for removing loose, potentially dangerous material from a rock slope, and also from rock faces in underground mining. Amacizar is the equivalent term in Spanish. See the definitions below, from a mining terms glossary (in Spanish) on the website of Ternium México, a metals miner and steel products producer; and from a mining info site in English.
Example sentence:
Amacizar: acción de remover piedras flojas en taludes o áreas peligrosas.
Scaling, the taking down of loose material from the roof, face and rib in hard rock mining. This videotape will remind you of some of the safety procedures and common sense practices to use during scaling.
