sector distribution units
Hi Ivana
I think these are likely to be the above-ground units containing the various solenoid valves and unions constituting the header of an irrigation loop. The fact that they call them "colonnina" presumably reflects their geometry (a sophisticated stand-pipe similar to power and water points in marinas or camp sites, if you see what I am getting at). The word "omega" (top-hat section) in this context presumably refers to a typical housing style but it sounds like jargon to me.
It might be helpful (when searching for terminology) to know if your people are talking about garden irrigation systems with pop-up sprinklers etc or a full-scale agricultural system
Cheers

re: omega
sorry, not much time, but found this:
Irrigation emitter unit
Document: United States Patent 6027048
Abstract: An emitter unit to be integrally bonded to an internal surface of a conduit and comprising an elongated housing, a housing inlet adapted to communicate with an interior ...
Whilst in the specific example illustrated and described the projections 23a and recesses 9a are shown as being essentially dovetailed in shape, other essentially equivalent shapes can also be utilized. Thus, for example, .OMEGA.-shaped projections and recesses can be employed.
