Estudio geotécnico in Moeche

In Moeche, the substrates of slates and schists predominate; these are metamorphic materials characterised by low permeability and an appropriate performance for conventional foundations, with low deformability and good bearing capacity. Fine sands and silts appear exceptionally, so they normally do not represent a conditioning factor unless in specific areas where it might be necessary to increase subsurface investigation.

The seismicity in the municipality, with only 1 event in 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 2.2, can be considered very low and has no structural relevance. The non-clayey substrate eliminates the risk of expansiveness; therefore, the main conditioning factor in building projects is the correct characterisation of the performance of the slates and schists, without the need to anticipate effects due to seismic or expansive processes.
