Dutch term or phrase: verticale distributie
In een tender van een architectenbureau:

"De hoogtes van de ruimtes is onvoldoende voor een klassieke en horizontale verdeling van de installatie. Daarom is het logisch om te kiezen voor een verticale distributie door bestaande schachten."

Are they talking about wiring here? Or plumbing? And what exactly does "schachten" mean here?

or vertically constructed / vertically construction
or just plain "vertical"

basically it just means the shafts go up and down, rather than from right to left ;-)

agree  Kitty Brussaard: With 'vertical distribution' (i.e. of utilities/installations through shafts rather than horizontally through ceiling voids). See also D-box.

Reference: verticale en horizontale distributie

Reference information:
"Er zijn veel soorten installaties. Vrijwel elke installatie met een leidingsysteem kent een ingangszijde en een uitgangszijde, een bron- respectievelijk gebruikerszijde met daartussen een transport- en distributiesysteem. Voor de centrale verwarming is de ketel de ingangszijde en de radiator de uitgangszijde. Voor lucht is dat respectievelijk de invoer en luchtbehandelingskast en anderzijds de ventilatieopening, voor riolering de aansluiting op het openbaar net en aan de gebruikerszijde het toilet of de wastafel en voor elektra de meterkast respectievelijk de wandcontactdoos.
Vanuit de centrale voorziening wordt eerst horizontaal getransporteerd naar de plaats waar zich de schacht of de schachten bevinden. Via de schacht(en) wordt vervolgens verticaal getransporteerd en gedistribueerd naar de verschillende verdiepingen. Per etage wordt het systeem van daaruit verder horizontaal verdeeld naar de aansluitpunten (gebruikerszijde)."
