Estudio geotécnico in Abegondo

In Abegondo, sandstone, conglomerates and flysch formations predominate, representing more than 85% of the soils, occasionally accompanied by slates, schists and, to a lesser extent, by fine sands and silts. These materials usually provide adequate bearing capacity, although their low permeability may favour the presence of shallow aquifers in specific areas. The foundation is typically adapted to local conditions, highlighting the need to assess the continuity and homogeneity of the bedrock before defining the safest and most efficient type of support.

Seismic activity in Abegondo is moderate, with 10 recorded events in the last three decades and a maximum magnitude of 3, so the associated risk is low from a structural point of view. The non-clayey substrate rules out the presence of expansiveness-related problems, allowing greater flexibility in the selection of conventional foundations. The main geotechnical focus should be on identifying locally saturated areas or areas with possible lithological variability.
