Estudio geotécnico in Beasain

In Beasain, soils predominantly consist of limestones, dolomites and marbles, occasionally associated with sandstones and flysch formations. These lithologies generally confer a high bearing capacity, suitable for shallow foundations, although the frequent impermeability of the underlying strata may lead to the presence of shallow aquifers and the need to consider groundwater control during construction phases.

The seismic activity in Beasain falls within a moderate range, with 19 recorded events over 30 years and low maximum magnitudes (Mmax 2.9), meaning that seismicity does not represent a prominent constraint for structural design. Given the predominance of carbonate materials, it is essential to verify the existence of karst cavities before defining the foundation solution, since the presence of karst can pose a primary risk to the feasibility and safety of the construction. The non-clayey substrate rules out expansivity-related problems in the area.
