Estudio geotécnico in Cuntis

In Cuntis, the dominant substrate is formed by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, accounting for more than 80% of the local geology, while shales and schists occur in a smaller proportion. These formations, characterised by low to very low permeability, usually provide good stability and reasonable bearing capacity for buildings, although the occasional presence of shallow aquifers may require appropriate drainage management. In this geotechnical context, foundations are typically supported on this bedrock or semi-compact material, which minimises risks associated with differential settlement.

With regard to seismicity, Cuntis has a moderate record of 12 events over 30 years, with a maximum magnitude of M2.4, which implies a low seismic risk for typical construction projects. As it is a non-clayey substrate, the risk of expansivity is ruled out. There are no karst outcrops that could condition the foundation. In short, the main technical consideration is to manage adequately any possible flow of surface water over a substrate that is globally stable.
