Estudio geotécnico in Monreal del Campo

In Monreal del Campo, the predominant geological substrate consists of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, which make up more than 80% of the ground, with occasional occurrences of limestones, dolomites and marbles. These materials provide good bearing capacity and, due to their high permeability, allow excellent drainage, reducing the likelihood of problems associated with the accumulation of water in the foundation. However, the presence of extensive aquifers can influence hydraulic conditions and, in certain cases, require protective measures for the works.

Seismicity in the area is very low, with only three minor events over thirty years and a maximum magnitude below 2, which rules out the need to take specific considerations for seismic risk into account in structural design. It is important to note that, although the substrate is not clayey and does not present a risk of expansivity, the presence of calcareous formations requires verifying the existence of karstification before carrying out any foundation, since the existence of cavities could affect the stability and safety of the project. Therefore, prior geotechnical control should focus on detecting potential karst phenomena.
