German term

Minderdeckung

German to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci Pipeline construction
Hopefully the last in my long series of terms relating to the pipeline management system.

Appears as an isolated term in a so-called "Mengengerüst":

Objektklasse - Minderdeckung
Außendurchmesser in mm - 419
Rohrwerkstoff - St 34.28

Ergebnis der TZA-Auswertung (whatever this is):
Überdeckung (m) (MIN) = 0,00,
Bodennutzung = Wald,
Überdeckung (m) (MAX) = 0,20,
Auftriebsgefahr = ja, Auftriebssicherung = unbekannt

I wonder whether it might be something like "inadequate cover", but would again appreciate some help.

At this point I'd like to express my thanks to all of you who have helped so far with this exceptionally long list of terms.

minimum cover

Very guessed - possibly minimum cover over the pipeline where is runs below grade. I don't know what "TZA-Auswertung" is either.

Minimum coverage

It is about the minimum coverage depth of the pipeline (Object): see reference
