Estudio geotécnico in Casas-Ibáñez

In Casas-Ibáñez, the predominant geological substrate is mainly composed of limestones, dolomites and marbles. These materials generally exhibit low permeability at the surface, although they may contain aquifers at depth. These types of soil offer a high bearing capacity, which favours the design of shallow or surface foundations, depending on the thickness and uniformity of the near-surface layers.

Seismicity in the area is very low, with only 1 recorded event over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.7, which minimises the influence of seismic actions on structural design. However, given the karstic nature of the dominant materials, it is essential to verify the presence of cavities before carrying out any foundation, as karst can lead to subsidence or localised instabilities that affect the safety of the works.
