Estudio geotécnico in Churriana de la Vega

In Churriana de la Vega, soils of fine sands and silts predominate, present in 88.42% of the municipality. These materials, together with very permeable and productive aquifers, generally offer good bearing capacities, although they may be subject to a certain degree of compressibility, which conditions the selection of the most suitable foundation type. It is essential to analyse the stability and consistency of the ground, especially in areas where flows of groundwater are detected.

Seismic activity is very low, with only 8 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.4, so seismicity does not constitute a relevant constraint for structural design in this area. However, the presence of karst makes it necessary to carry out specific checks to rule out possible voids and ensure the viability of the foundations. The existence of some subordinate expansive clays requires attention, although their impact is limited to areas that are not water-deficient. The main consideration for geotechnical studies in Churriana de la Vega will be the identification and characterisation of possible karst phenomena before any foundation project.
