Not sure it's the same.
Could it just be air bobbles?

Comment: "Thanks for the reply. It seems that "fremspring" would be a correct translation.
I have now received a reply from the authors of the text in question, and they said:
“Pop-ups” in concrete are protrusions such as pipes, conduits, or rebar sticking up. This term does not refer to air bubbles.
I have received another qualified reply on http://forum.wordreference.com:
"A motorized trowel (or float) has a spinning plate underneath. There is a tubular guard to protect objects from the spinning plate.
If you have a "pop up" by which I understand it to mean a obstruction such as a sewer plate, or plumbing access, and if that "pop up" is lower than the guard, then the spinning plate could come in contact with the "pop up" and cause damage to the trowel or the obstruction or both."
