Estudio geotécnico in Les Borges Blanques

In Les Borges Blanques, the dominant subsoil is made up of compact gravels and sands, which represents a favourable condition for the bearing capacity of the ground. This type of soil allows the design of standard shallow foundations in most cases, ensuring good stability and reducing the risks of differential settlements. The presence of aquifers with high permeability also favours natural drainage, although it requires specific attention during the construction phase to control possible water ingress.

From a geotechnical standpoint, seismicity in Les Borges Blanques is very low, with just 3 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.5, so it does not constitute a relevant factor for structural design. The non-clayey subsoil eliminates any concerns relating to expansive soils, providing additional safety in terms of volumetric stability. In short, the bearing performance and the absence of significant geotechnical risks make the ground’s bearing capacity the main technical aspect to be considered for future projects.
