Hi everyone,
I just wanted to check whether ubicacion here refers to positioning (i.e. that there's enough space to include/position these elements), and if anyone has a good way of phrasing this?
Accesos y espacio suficientes para la realización de los trabajos, ubicación del contenedor de herramientas y la oficina móvil.
Thanks in advance for your help!

position, locate, install
I think we need a verb here, not a noun or a gerund as in the previous two answers. "Adequate access and space to carry out the work and install the tool container and mobile office."

location
I think 'location' would be more appropriate here.
Note from asker:
| I felt that a verb might sound a bit less stilted here than the noun form, but thanks very much for your help! |

: This would give an awkward sentence: "... for the carrying out of the work and the location of the tool container".

putting, siting, placing
I would say:
adequate/sufficient space for ......placing the tool.......
adequate/sufficient space for ......placing the tool.......

accommodating
Here it actually means for keeping or siting. But, since the second object is a mobile office, we can not use keeping or siting. Hence, for accommodating would probably be more appropriate.
Something went wrong...
