Estudio geotécnico in Neda

In Neda, the geological subsoil is dominated mainly by slates and schists, followed by sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, while outcrops of granite and gneiss occur only occasionally. These materials form a generally favourable bearing ground for foundations, although slate formations may show some weakness under high loads if they have weathered. Given the low proportion of fine sands and silts, which are considered rare in the area, the risk of differential settlement is limited and the design of shallow foundations is feasible in most cases.

Local seismicity in Neda is very low, with only one event recorded over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.6, so this factor does not represent a significant limitation in structural design. The non-clayey subsoil rules out the risk of soil expansivity, improving the long-term stability of the foundations. There are no indications of karst processes, so the main constraint to be assessed will be the local permeability and the possible presence of shallow aquifers in certain areas, which could affect the ground’s behaviour towards deep foundations or excavations.
