Italian term or phrase: sondaggio in avanzamento
"rilievo geomeccanico giornaliero del fronte di scavo e assistenza di cantiere per i sondaggi in avanzamento"


Il sondaggio in avanzamento è un sondaggio (carotaggio) che viene eseguito, durante lo scavo di una galleria, preventivamente all'avanzamento del fronte di scavo per verificare in via preliminare le condizioni dell'ammasso roccioso. Una mia ipotesi di traduzione è "feeding borehole".

core drillings ahead of the face
Explanation:
Since this is definitely a "carotaggio" I would call it that. I usually translate it this way.
"in avanzamento" just means ahead of the face. You could translate "into the face" but they might be around the edge of it.
