Estudio geotécnico in Tielmes

In Tielmes, the geological substrate is dominated by limestones, dolomites and marbles, which implies highly competent soils and good bearing capacity for shallow foundations, although areas of compacted gravels and sands may also occur, which offer favourable conditions for construction. The setting has very permeable and productive aquifers, which facilitates drainage but may require particular attention to the groundwater level. Additionally, the occasional presence of gypsum, anhydrites and salts introduces a potential dissolution risk that can affect the stability of the foundations.

Local seismic activity is moderate, with 40 events in the last 30 years and a low maximum magnitude (Mmax 2.2), so structural design is not seriously constrained by this factor. The non-clayey substrate rules out the risk of expansivity. However, the existence of carbonated materials and the likelihood of karst phenomena require thorough verification of the karst before defining the type of foundation, this being the main geotechnical constraint in the municipality.
