Italian term

sabbia a perdere

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
I'm translating the description of a project to restore an old fortification, with the aiming of establishing a balance between the old structures and the contemporary new-style additions. Here I find: "La scelta del calcestruzzo gettato in strati inframezzati di sabbia a perdere richiama i corsi lapidei delle murature storiche". Qualcuno mi può dare una mano con "sabbia a perdere"? Grazie mille.
Proposed translations (English)
3 Lea e in sand

Sorry, had to close and deliver the translation with my doubts still open. Thanks anyway.

I have no real idea but might simply be "loose sand"

Proposed translations

Lea e in sand

Nel senso che viene inglobata nel manufatto e non è possibile estrarla ( a perdere)
