Italian term

tamponamento

Italian to English Other Construction / Civil Engineering
Data la composizione del paramento murario del tamponamento, si potrebbe pensare che l’ambiente sia stato realizzato nel medesimo periodo dell'ambiente sottostante, dato che le stanze interne ad esso presentano i tamponamenti eretti con una analoga tessitura.

I'm struggling with this term as I can't seem to find an adequate equivalent.

It refers to abandoned rooms which have been blocked up, but what is the technical EN term for tamponamento in this context?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!

sealing/sealing up

Hello-

I hope I understand the text, meaning an abandoned building that has had its windows and doors 'sealed up' with either cement or bricks?
If so, I found several valid references, depending on the material.
Example: 'cemented', 'cemented-up', 'cinder-blocked', 'boarded-up', etc.
But in general, it seems the most common expression used is 'to seal-up a window with cement blocks'. So I reduced to 'sealing up', so as not to confuse with 'window sealing' with silicone.

Not a pretty term , though, I realize. I'll keep looking....
