Estudio geotécnico in Dos Torres

In Dos Torres, the predominant substrate is made up mostly of granite, gneiss and other highly resistant igneous rocks, accompanied in a smaller proportion by schists and slates. These materials generally exhibit a high bearing capacity, which facilitates the construction of shallow foundations for both residential and industrial buildings. The low permeability of these formations limits the flow of water at depth, reducing risks associated with liquefaction or differential movements, although surface aquifers may be present in altered areas.

From the standpoint of seismic hazard, Dos Torres experiences only two events every 30 years, with a very low maximum magnitude of 2.3, which places seismicity at very low levels and without significant impact on structural design. There are no karstification phenomena that would condition the foundations, and the non-clayey substrate effectively removes the risk of expansive behaviour. Therefore, the main determining factor for the geotechnical study lies in the local assessment of rock alteration and the possible presence of low-extent aquifers.
