Estudio geotécnico in Cúllar Vega

In Cúllar Vega, soils formed by fine sands and silts predominate, which favours the presence of good bearing capacity for shallow foundations, thanks to their compactness and low presence of friable materials. The extensive high-permeability aquifers present in the area may condition both the groundwater level and the drainage of the foundations, requiring complementary hydrogeological studies for works of a certain size.

As regards seismic risk, the area has recorded very low seismicity during the last few decades, with a low maximum magnitude. The absence of clayey materials rules out complications due to expansivity. However, given the possibility of development of karst phenomena, it is essential to carry out specific studies to rule out the existence of cavities or dissolution processes, as these could affect the safety of the foundations. The main geotechnical limiting factor in Cúllar Vega is verification of the karst beneath the project site area.
