Catalan term or phrase: grapats d’esquerdes
Here's my context:

"El primer moment, de reaprofitament i transformació va consistir en: despullar d’elements accessoris existents en parets i sostres fins deixant, només, els element essencials que definien l’espai; netejar els paraments de forma estratègica i no “higiènica” mantenint d’aquesta manera traces, marques, capes de pintura, etc; consolidació (amb els reforços estructurals necessaris i els grapats d’esquerdes) i reposició “crítica”; lectura en el paviment de la distribució original en estances més petites; homogeneïtzació cromàtica de la llum natural."

Repair foundation structural cracks using Carbon Fiber Staples. Structural cracks in concrete are caused by movement in the foundation, thus resulting in long-term creeping and fatiguing of concrete. Crack repair by injection alone may not be a permanent solution.
