Estudio geotécnico in Los Montesinos

In Los Montesinos, the main geological stratum is made up of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, which account for around 77% of the soils in the area, followed by gravels and compact sands. These materials provide an adequate bearing capacity for conventional foundations, although it is essential to confirm the compaction in the strip where gravel and sand predominate. The recorded permeability suggests the presence of aquifers of variable extent, which may imply a certain level of control over drainage and stability during the excavation and foundation phase.

From the seismic point of view, the area shows a notable level of activity, with 52 events over the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.4. Although the seismicity does not reach the highest values, a moderate risk should not be overlooked. The geotechnical study should pay particular attention to the potential presence of expansive or dispersive clays, which could influence foundation design solutions. The absence of karstic phenomena simplifies the analysis, placing the possible expansiveness as the main factor to be considered in future building projects.
