Estudio geotécnico in Mont-roig del Camp

In Mont-roig del Camp, compacted gravels and sands predominate as soils, accounting for 92,31% of the surface materials, with outcrops of granite, gneiss and igneous rocks also being common. This configuration guarantees excellent bearing capacity for shallow foundations, providing stability and favourable behaviour under structural loads. The permeability of these formations is generally considered low or very low, although there may be shallow aquifers that it is advisable to identify in the earlier stages of the project.

The seismicity analysis indicates very low activity, with only 6 events in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1,9, so seismic risk can be considered negligible for structural design. The non-clayey substratum rules out the presence of problematic expansivity. However, attention should be paid to the possible presence of karstification in the area, with a detailed verification being essential before carrying out any foundation, as the associated cavities may represent a significant factor affecting the stability of the works.
