Estudio geotécnico in Alcolea del Río

In Alcolea del Río, the geotechnical study reveals the predominant presence of water bodies, compact gravels and sands, together with slates and schists. These materials generally provide adequate bearing capacity, allowing conventional shallow foundations in most cases. The compact gravels and sands favour good stability, although care must be taken regarding the presence of water bodies that can affect saturation and the degree of effective compaction, particularly at low elevations.

The region is characterised by very low seismicity, with only one recorded event in the last three decades and a maximum magnitude that does not reach concerning levels. There are no risks associated with karst processes or problems of expansiveness, owing to the presence of a non-clayey substratum. The main aspect to monitor in the geotechnical studies of Alcolea del Río corresponds to the management of saturated formations or those close to surface water bodies.
