Estudio geotécnico in Manzanares el Real

In Manzanares el Real, soils formed by granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks predominate, accompanied in smaller measure by slates and schists. These materials exhibit excellent bearing capacity and very low deformability, which facilitates the selection of shallow, direct foundations for most projects. The scarce presence of clays or hard marls implies that the risk of delayed deformations is practically non-existent, contributing to greater structural support security.

Seismic activity in this municipality is very low, with only 2 recorded events over 30 years and a low maximum magnitude (Mmax 1.9), so it does not represent a relevant concern for geotechnical design. The subsoil contains no expansive clays, ruling out risks associated with soil expansivity. Consequently, the main constraint is determined by the presence of rock masses, whose excavation work may require specific techniques.
