Estudio geotécnico in Picanya

In Picanya, fine sands and silts predominate, accounting for the majority of the soils present in the municipality. These deposits generally offer good bearing capacity, although it will be necessary to analyse the degree of compaction and the possible heterogeneity of the strata, particularly in the presence of silts. The associated masses of water reinforce the presence of highly permeable aquifers, making it essential to consider the effect of the groundwater table in the foundation design and the ground stability, particularly in projects involving deep excavations or basements.

Seismic activity in the area is moderate, with 27 events over 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 3.4, suggesting that the seismic risk for conventional projects is low. No conditions associated with karst phenomena are apparent. Expansive clays occur subordinately or in less critical areas due to their climatology, so the risk from expansivity is low, although it is always advisable to verify their local presence during the geotechnical study. Control of permeability and the influence of extensive aquifers are the main aspects to take into account in the analyses prior to construction.
