Estudio geotécnico in Ribadeo

In Ribadeo, soils formed by slates and schists predominate, representing more than 94% of the substrate. These formations are very common and are characterised by low permeability and compactness, offering good bearing capacity for shallow foundations. However, the presence of shallow aquifers associated with the topography may require attention in the management of pore water during the execution of the works.

Seismic activity in Ribadeo is very low, with only one documented event in 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.4, so the seismic influence on structural design is negligible. The non-clayey nature of the substrate rules out the possibility of developing expansive soils, eliminating this type of risk. In the light of these conditions, the main focus should be on control of the water associated with the local aquifers and on the impermeable nature of the ground.
