Estudio geotécnico in L'Arboç

In L'Arboç, the subsoil is characterised by the dominant presence of compact gravel and sand. This is a frequent type of formation which generally exhibits low permeability at the surface, although deeper aquifers may exist. This textural nature provides good bearing capacity for shallow foundations, enabling favourable performance under structural loads for both residential and industrial buildings.

Seismicity in the municipality is moderate, with 30 events over the last 30 years but all of low magnitude (Mmax 2.5), which implies that seismic risk is low for structural design. The absence of karstic phenomena and the condition of non-clayey bedrock rule out concerns related to expansivity, consolidating the compactness and uniformity of the soils as the main factor to be analysed in the geotechnical study of L'Arboç.
