Estudio geotécnico in Bordils

In Bordils, the dominant subsoil is mostly made up of fine sands and silts, with a significant proportion of gravels and compact sands. These soil types exhibit a degree of compactness and particle-size distribution that favour a medium to good bearing capacity, so it is common to use shallow foundations such as isolated footings or slabs. Limited near-surface permeability and the possibility of deep aquifers, however, require assessing the migration of water during construction, though they do not usually constitute a severe constraint for most civil projects.

Seismic activity in Bordils, with only two recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.6, is very low, so seismic loads are not a relevant factor for local geotechnical design. Likewise, the absence of clayey subsoil eliminates the risk of expansivity in the soils of the municipality. The main constraint in Bordils lies in the appropriate characterisation of the compactness of the subsoil and protection against possible rises in deep groundwater.
