Bus/Financial - Construction / Civil Engineering
German term or phrase: Bautechnik
context: processing system/treatment plant for wastewater from olive oil production, incl. material and energy recovery systems

Die Investitions- und Betriebskosten (ohne Transportkosten) für Anlagen mit Totalaufbereitung und Verwertungsanlagen belaufen sich auf ca.

Investitionskosten
100…170 € pro m³/a OMW-Behandlungskapazität

Betriebskosten
(ohne Kapitaldienst)
2,50…4,50 € pro m³ OMW

Abschreibungszeitraum: Bautechnik: 25 a
technische Ausrüstung: 12 a
Stromgenerator: 7 a

Could the Bautechnik to be depreciated in this context be the design and construction of the system/installation?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Explanation:
Yes, it deals with design and construction of the plant, but it should be expressed as:

Bautechnik = "building engineering" or
Hoch- und Tiefbau = "building and civil engineering".

The investment is depreciated within 25 years (a = annum).

building/construction payoff period


Explanation:
i think it's the payoff period (période d'amortissement) of the construction without equipment and current generator

agree  Kaiya J. Diannen: I think in another context 'civil engineering' might be right, but this choice has a better ring to it for this purpose

Bautechnik = construction engineering


Explanation:
This translation is straight from 2002 Langenscheidt Fachwörterbuch Technik.
It applies to Tiefbau, Hochbau, Wasserbau or civil engineering, building construction or hydraulic/ water enginering. I would say that Bautechnik belongs under the real property/ assets.

building structure


Explanation:
or even simply "structure", can be used to refer to a building without any content, which in this case is depreciated over 25 years, while some of the installed equipment is depreciated over a shorter period.
