Estudio geotécnico in Oleiros

In Oleiros, the predominant subsoil is composed of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, with an occasional presence of slates and schists. In general, this type of material exhibits good bearing capacity and low deformability, which usually makes it easier to design shallow foundations, avoiding problems caused by differential settlement. Permeability is low, although there are shallow aquifers that must be considered with regard to possible water inflows during excavations or the long-term stability of the foundations.

Seismic activity in Oleiros is very low, with only four events over thirty years with a maximum magnitude of 3, indicating that seismic risk is practically negligible for most structures. In addition, the subsoil is not clayey, ruling out the presence of problems associated with expansivity. For this reason, the main factor to consider for the geotechnical study in this municipality lies in characterising permeability and the presence of shallow aquifers.
