Estudio geotécnico in Bormujos

In Bormujos, soils of limestones, dolomites and marbles predominate, accounting for more than 95% of the geotechnical substratum, whereas fine sands and silts are very infrequent in the area. In general, these carbonate materials provide a good bearing capacity and allow for direct, shallow foundation solutions, provided that their competence is guaranteed. The occasional presence of loose materials, such as sands and silts, should be analysed to rule out localised zones of low capacity or possible differential settlements.

Seismicity in Bormujos is very low, with only 1 significant event in thirty years and a very low maximum magnitude (Mmax 1.7), so seismic risk does not condition structural design. There is no risk associated with karst or with the presence of expansive clays within the main substratum, since non-clay materials predominate, ruling out risks from expansivity. The main geotechnical parameter to be controlled will be adequate integration with the aquifer, whose location must be verified at depth to avoid water-related risks in the foundations.
