Estudio geotécnico in Ribadavia

In Ribadavia, the predominant geological substrate is made up of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, accompanied to a lesser extent by shales and schists. These materials generally have low to moderate permeability, which limits the migration of water and favours the stability of shallow and semi-deep foundations. Bearing capacity is usually adequate, although the occasional presence of water bodies requires a thorough analysis in specific areas to avoid moisture-related problems at the base of structures.

Seismic activity in Ribadavia is very low, with only 3 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.1, so seismicity does not represent a relevant constraint in the structural design of buildings. The non-clayey substrate rules out the risk of expansiveness in the soils of the municipality. In conclusion, the main focus should be on the precise identification of areas that may contain water bodies and the detailed characterisation needed to ensure uniform and stable support.
