Estudio geotécnico in Faura

In Faura, the ground is mainly made up of fine sands and silts, representing the most common cover, which generally provides a moderate bearing capacity and facilitates shallow direct foundations in conventional projects. The significant proportion of limestones, dolomites and marbles introduces the possibility of encountering competent rock substrata, which are ideal for deep or shallow foundations, while the marginal presence of hard clays and sandstones is not significant, but may locally highlight ground variability.

The municipality shows moderate seismicity (27 events over 30 years, Mmax 3.4). Although this does not limit construction, it should be taken into account for certain types of distinctive buildings. It is essential to verify the existence of karstification in the calcareous materials before defining the foundation type, as this could represent an unfavourable condition. There are no risks associated with expansive soils, since it is a predominantly non-clayey substrate. The main conditioning factor for geotechnical studies in Faura will be checking for karst cavities in combination with the variability of the superficial lithology.
