Estudio geotécnico in El Viso

In the municipality of El Viso, sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, which forms a resistant and generally competent geological substrate for shallow or semi-deep foundations. These materials provide adequate bearing capacity and usually exhibit good stability, although the presence of local aquifers and moderate permeability makes it advisable to analyse the groundwater level and control any potential water inflows during foundation execution.

Seismic activity in El Viso is notable, with 54 events accumulated over 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 4.6; therefore, the geotechnical study must incorporate structural seismic analysis into the design of buildings. Expansive clays are present in a subordinate manner and/or in specific areas, which implies a localised risk of expansivity but not a generalised one; its precise identification will determine the foundation criteria and the technical approach to the work.
