Estudio geotécnico in Granadilla de Abona

In Granadilla de Abona, soils formed by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, followed by granites, gneiss and other igneous rocks. This type of stratigraphy generally favours an adequate bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although the low surface permeability must be taken into account to avoid drainage problems or water accumulation. Deep formations may host important aquifers, which requires careful assessment during geotechnical drilling works.

Local seismic activity is moderate, with 42 recorded events over the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.8, indicating very low seismicity that hardly affects structural design criteria. There is no risk associated with karst processes or significant expansivity, so the main focus should be centred on analysing permeability and the presence of deep aquifers, ensuring that the ground is suitable for the proposed foundation.
