Estudio geotécnico in Anchuelo

In Anchuelo, the predominant geotechnical substrate is made up mainly of limestones, dolomites and marbles, followed by significant proportions of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch. These materials, typical of carbonate and detrital environments, show very good bearing capacities, which allows for shallow and cost-effective foundation options in most cases. The presence of high-permeability and high-yield aquifers implies excellent drainability, although it may require adequate management of groundwater during the excavation and foundation phases.

Seismic activity in Anchuelo is very low, with five recorded events over thirty years and a maximum magnitude of 3, so it does not represent a significant concern for structural design. The non-clayey substrate rules out possible expansivity-related risks. However, given the proportion of carbonate materials, there is a risk of karstification development, so it is essential to verify the possible presence of cavities or karst conduits before defining the depth and type of foundation. The main constraint in the area is the possible existence of karst-related phenomena associated with the limestones and dolomites.
