Swedish term or phrase: valvavstängare
"valvavstängare" = ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It's apparently something to do with concrete, but I haven't the foggiest iota what it is called in English.

Thus far, my research has yielded only a thick wall of monolingual references/descriptions/etc.

Thank you for your time.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Many thanks for answering. However, the only support I can find for the term "arch shut-off" is a page at patents.google.com, which in my experience is simply not a reliable site: it seems to make heavy use of automatic machine translation or other unreliable mechanisms. Do you have another source that independently supports the translation "arch shut-off"? (You referred to a document above, but I don't see any link.)
