Do you have a contract you can refer to This is the discussion about the terms of the concession contract, I presume, or the terms of a contract between the concessionaire and a subcontractor. In any event if there is a contract that talks about responsibilities around relocation of the impacted families, that contract would have a definition for what it means by interceptado.

In the context of expropriation I found several examples that combine both Nick's and Guilhermes's suggestions.

Thanks Anna that works too.
agree philgoddard : I think this must be the meaning, but I'm not sure why they've said interceptados.

Thanks. Perhaps appropriated?
agree Douglas Bissell : properties is better as it may well also include the land

Quite so, cheers Douglas, I guess it was under a compulsary purchase order and they will be relocated.

Impacted dwellings

In my experience, all these contracts talk about responsibilities around environmental impacts and socioeconomic impacts. And I agree with Nick that in this case dwellings makes a lot of sense, rather than the word properties, because they're talking about re-locating residents.

Portuguese term (edited): imóvel interceptado

(forcibly, non-wayleaved) requisitioned property

interceptar: (fazer parar) to stop, Collins POR/ENG

Entry 3, reter; deter, empolgar (o que destinado a outrem) : Novo Dicionário Aurelio Da Lingua Portuguesa, Rio de J.

Seems to have the meaning of 'caught' or 'captured' cf. compulosry purchase in the UK and eminent domain in the US of A.

Wayleave, as all of us know, would imply that an easement contract would have been agreed between the ex-residents and hdro-power. utility company aka a 'statutory undertaker!' in the UK.

Mid-CL - middling confidence level for one of my non-core lingos and pending Mark R.'s authoritative intercession.

Example sentence:

FALSE: Governor of the Brazilian state of Sergipe decreed that properties could be requisitioned by the government amidst the pandemic

properties traversed

Intercepted/interceptados are clearly false friends here. The meaning of interceptados here is that properties in question are traversed by the proposed works, presumably by the conduits/power lines between the plant and the reservoirs, or by the reservoirs themselves.

"The development shall be connected to the public sewer for the disposal of foul
drainage in such a manner and by such route as will ensure to the satisfaction of
the Planning Authority, in consultation with Scottish Water, that no nuisance shall
be caused to occupiers of properties traversed by any existing or proposed
sewerage infrastructure."
