Estudio geotécnico in Polán

In Polán, granites, gneisses and other igneous rocks predominate, which show a high suitability as a foundation substrate. These materials usually provide very good bearing capacity, facilitating the construction of structures with direct or shallow foundations. Minor formations, such as slates, schists and small percentages of compacted gravels, rarely alter the general conditions, although the presence of water bodies requires considering specific cases of moisture at depth.

The seismicity in the area is very low, with minimal records and a low maximum magnitude, so the seismic action does not influence the geotechnical design. Since the geological base is not clayey, the risk of expansivity is ruled out, and there is also no problem associated with karstification. The main aspect to consider in Polán is the verification of superficial aquifers and the monitoring of moisture; otherwise, it is a favourable area for foundation on sound rock.
