Estudio geotécnico in Camarles

In Camarles, soils formed by compacted gravels and sands predominate, accounting for approximately 75% of the ground, accompanied by fine sands and silts in a smaller proportion. This grain-size composition ensures excellent bearing capacity, facilitating direct foundation solutions for residential and industrial projects. In addition, the high permeability present, due to extensive aquifers, is a fundamental factor that favours the drainage of water, although it implies paying attention to possible drawdowns in the groundwater table during excavation works.

With regard to geotechnical risks, seismicity in Camarles is very low, with only 2 events in 30 years and a low maximum magnitude, so seismic risk does not condition structural design. However, since karstification exists in the subsoil, it is essential to carry out an exhaustive geotechnical study that rules out the presence of voids or instabilities associated with them before executing the foundations. The absence of clayey materials eliminates the risk of expansivity, placing the verification of karst as the main geotechnical conditioning factor in the area.
