Estudio geotécnico in La Bisbal d'Empordà

In La Bisbal d'Empordà, the predominant subsoil is composed of compact gravels and sands, occurring very frequently throughout the area. These formations display notable stability and a high bearing capacity, parameters that favour the execution of shallow foundations, although the local presence of superficial aquifers linked to very low local permeability may require drainage or waterproofing measures during the works.

Seismicity in the municipality is very low, with only 2 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.6, so the seismic risk is insignificant in the structural design. Since the ground is not clayey, any type of problem associated with expansiveness is ruled out. Thus, the main technical constraint is linked exclusively to the detailed assessment of the groundwater levels, since the mechanical behaviour of the gravels and sands is highly favourable for the foundation system.
