Spanish term

pacadar

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Terminology
This term comes from the description of a large, warehouse or factory building in Puerto Rico. I can't find any reference to this term and suspect it may be an industry term, brand name or maybe some regional slang. I just can't seem to be able to confirm either.

"La estructura consiste en un techo inclinado de losas de hormigón (poretes) sostenido sobre viguetas de pacadar, apoyadas en un armazón de vigas y columnas de hormigón, sobre cimientos de hormigón armado."

Other details about the building include:

Tiene aislación de ½ pulgada de fibras de cristal y un sistema de impermeabilización consistente en cuatro felpas impregnadas de asfalto con terminación granulada. El área total del edificio es de 43,429.50 pies cuadrados de espacio cubierto. Las paredes Exteriores son de bloques de concreto empañetados y pintados por ambos lados. El piso es de losa de 4" de hormigón armado y terminación monolítica de cemento, diseñada para soportar carga viva de 150 libras por pie cuadrado. Tiene 21 inodoros, 13 lavamanos y 4 urinales. En el techo del edilicio hay ocho unidades de extractores.

It would appear to be (based in Spain).
Note from asker:
Thanks again, Taña. I found these links, in my research. It might very well be just a company or product name.
