Catalan term or phrase: xinxols

I have spoken with my very knowledgable native Catalan friend and he says this is not a Catalan word, the dictionary also agrees with him.
We came up with "ninxols", and it sort of makes sense, but the author writes "xinxols" throughout the text. I am at a loss here.

Some maybe helpful info: this is probably an Andorran, maybe a French speaker. (Or maybe Korean, based on their Catalan)

"Subministre y col•locació de perfiles metàl•lics con acero laminado tipo A/42-B, de diferentes medidas según diseño proyecto, en jasseres y xinxols de refuerzo de forjados interiores vivienda, incluidas cartel.las de refuerzo y unión entre perfiles si se tercia, fijaciones mecániques según indicaciones planos tipos HILTY M-12 (taco quimic), incluido trabajos de soldadura, pulido de las rebabes, cortes, etc. dejando el conjunto acabado y apunto de pintura de protección."

I don't do Catalan but this is something that goes inside a house, isn't it, so the above seems unlikely :-)

I got "beam/pillar" because

jasseres = vigas

??

It turns out "beams" was right. We had to get a Catalan construction specialist: “xinxols” = viga perimetral / zuncho

Notes to answerer

Asker:

Asker: Ahora creo que es xinxolles, pero pampoco se que es

Asker: Un arbol de frtua no tendría ningun sentido en este contexto - es un parte de un edificio.

Asker: Exactly, it is a mispelling of something (a part of the contruction of a house) - we are mystified so far, as the client didn't spell check. Making things unnecessarily hard. Yipee!

Asker: Maybe fruit trees are integral parts of housing construction in catalonia??

Asker: Yes, it would be great if it were beam or pillar, but how did you get that?? I need to have some type of certainty, otherwise I'd just be making it up (which sometimes is the only thing left to do)

Asker: jasseres I have as beams already. It's the xinxolles, or whatever they are really called. They could be the same, as you say. But I still have to find a reference.

15 hrs confidence:

soldered joint / welded seam (see below)

Explanation:
1) I understand this paragraph is in some form of Valencià. Xínxol in Valencià can also be said (the fruit) as "llinyol".

2) llinyol (Font: Diccionari de la llengua catalana de l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans (2a edició) ) llinyol. Fil cru empegat amb què cusen els sabaters. [...] alà-castellà d'Enciclopèdia Catalana (3a edició).

3) By this definition of llinyol, maybe "xinxol" refers to some kind of joint, welding or similar.

"Fil cru empegat amb què cusen(...) ". "Raw string/cord that shoe repairer/makers use to sew (...)"

Of course the answer given is orientative (may not be exact) and you may find something better than "soldered joint" or "welded seam" but in the same line than these two.

Do not forget that "xinxol" does not come alone, and you must consider "xinxols de refuerzo" as a unit.

--------------------------------------------------

xinxols de refuerzo = reinforcement "x"

assuming llinyol refers to "cord" or "seam" can also be something as "moulding" (moldura in Spanish). This is what I have found in IATE for "moldura" into English:
