English term

FLYING BALLAST

English to Portuguese Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Hi all,
I have this term which is giving me a bit of a headache due to the word flying.
As part of the translation and TM, ballast is already translated as "brita", but I can't seem to find a good term for the flying ballast together.
The sentence is:
Brake-pipes, hoses and conduits shall be installed such that risk of damage such as from flying ballast is minimised.

Pls, only PTBR.
thanks and great Sunday to everyone :D

brita solta

Tânia, posso imaginar que é brita que se solta e cai ao ser movimentada / transportada, danificando tubagens que estejam à vista. Apesar de ser PT PT, espero ter ajudado! Bom domingo para si!
