paquete estructural

English translation: the structural element

Spanish term or phrase: paquete estructural
"el paquete estructural colocado en el tercio central de la vía, se convertiría en un dique en las curvas con la acumulación del agua lluvia, lo que sería un problema ambiental y con efectos negativos sobre el terraplén y la misma estructura de la vía."

Entiendo que paquete estructural hace referencia a las características de la estructura de la vía, pero no sé si exista una frase hecha equivalente en inglés para esto. Agradezco cualquier ayuda.

English translation:the structural element
Explanation:
Como no hay mucho contexto para traducir "paquete", sugiero que uses un elemento neutro como "element" El resto de la oración podría ser "placed in the middle of the road..."
