Estudio geotécnico in Entrimo

In the municipality of Entrimo, soils formed by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, covering practically the entire buildable area. These lithological materials are characterised by their compactness and low permeability, generally making them suitable for supporting structural loads and allowing direct foundations to be implemented efficiently. Nevertheless, the localised presence of groundwater may generate shallow aquifers in some sectors, which is important to take into account in the design of drainage or waterproofing, but without significantly affecting the bearing capacity of the dominant ground.

From a geotechnical standpoint, Entrimo exhibits very low seismic activity, with barely one recorded event every thirty years and a very low maximum magnitude, which minimises the need to consider seismicity in structural design criteria. The non-clayey substratum rules out any risk of expansivity, and there are also no recorded karstification phenomena. For this reason, the main factor to be considered in this environment lies in the potential presence of surface water, rather than in geomechanical or seismic factors.
