Hi, I'd appreciate some help with this term.
The project is the construction of a tunnel:
"Tanto para el túnel como para las galerías de escape, en la licitación se realizó un análisis de la máxima longitud a disparar por cada pase de excavación, de modo que se cumplieran los límites de vibraciones admisibles para cada estructura afectada."
Thanks :)

excavation advance
I understand it to refer to the advance of a tunnel presumably using drilling and blasting.

Spanish term (edited):
pase de excavación
round of excavation
Would be my take...
Reference:
10 hrs
stretch of excavation
The first thing I thought of was "stretch" (a continuous area of land)...

It also refers to time, so can be comfortably used as a synonym of "phase/stage/section"...

Example sentence:
"a 30-meter portion ...that was the deepest and most difficult stretch of the tunnel to construct."
