Estudio geotécnico in Azuaga

In Azuaga, the dominant geological subsoil is made up of slates and schists, accompanied to a lesser extent by gravels, compact sands and some igneous rocks such as granite and gneiss. These materials are characterised by low permeability and compactness, which usually ensures adequate bearing capacity for most projects. The foundations can generally be carried out using conventional solutions on these subsoils, although it is essential to always verify the presence of fracturing or localised alteration.

Seismic activity in this area is very low, with only 6 recorded events and a maximum magnitude of 2.5 over the last 30 years, so seismicity does not represent a significant concern. However, special attention must be paid to the possible presence of karstification, since karst must be verified before building on it to rule out voids or instabilities. Given the absence of expansive clays, the risk of expansivity is ruled out, placing the checking of karst-related phenomena as the main determining factor in geotechnical studies in Azuaga.
