Estudio geotécnico in Ahigal

In the municipality of Ahigal, soils of shales and schists predominate, accompanied by granitic and igneous formations in smaller proportions. These materials, of a fundamentally rock-based nature and limited permeability, generally provide good bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although locally discontinuities and fractures may occur that must be assessed through a specific geotechnical study. The occasional presence of water bodies requires particular attention to prevent differential settlement or problems associated with variations in moisture at the bearing bases.

Seismicity in Ahigal is notable, with 56 events in the last 30 years, although the maximum recorded magnitude (Mmax 3.1) is moderate and does not represent a high structural constraint. No risk of karstification or expansive soils is detected, given the non-clayey nature of the substrate, which rules out pathologies associated with clay volumetrics. The main factor to consider will be the competence of the rock mass and the local hydrogeology, especially in proximity to water bodies.
