Estudio geotécnico in Taboadela

In Taboadela, the dominant subsoil essentially consists of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, materials that are distributed across almost the entire municipality. These lithologies, generally compact and of granular nature, offer good conditions for shallow, direct foundation systems, providing an adequate bearing capacity. The low permeability of these formations may imply the occasional presence of superficial aquifers, which requires attention during the execution of excavations or foundations in order to avoid localised drainage problems.

Seismicity in Taboadela is very low, as reflected in the low frequency of recent seismic events and a moderate maximum magnitude (Mmax 3.2), meaning that the seismic influence on structural design is limited. As there is no risk of karstification and no presence of expansive clayey soils, the possibility of experiencing considerable differential settlement phenomena or expansivity is ruled out. In conclusion, the main geotechnical constraint in this municipality is low permeability, which requires adequate management of groundwater on site.
