Estudio geotécnico in Albuixech

In Albuixech, the dominant subsoil is made up of compact gravels and sands, which provides a stable foundation for most building and civil engineering projects. These materials are recognised for their high bearing capacity and good compaction, facilitating economical and safe shallow foundations. White/soft expansive clays occur occasionally, but since non-clayey soils predominate, the risk associated with expansiveness is very low. The high permeability and the presence of facilitating aquifers mean that it is necessary to control any possible water flow during construction, but generally this does not pose a negative constraint for the foundation.

Seismicity in Albuixech is very low, with only a single recorded event in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.2, which implies that this factor has little relevance in typical geotechnical design. The risk of karst is also not present in this locality. In conclusion, the soil characteristics and the low level of seismicity mean that the main factor to be considered during the geotechnical study for construction in Albuixech is control of groundwater levels, especially due to the abundance of aquifers, whereas expansiveness and seismicity do not represent critical constraints.
