Estudio geotécnico in Torreblascopedro

In Torreblascopedro, the dominant geological substrate is made up of limestones, dolomites and marbles, representing around 70% of the ground, which generally provides favourable conditions for shallow foundations due to their high bearing capacity. In specific locations, sandstone, conglomerates and flysch may be found, as well as deposits of compact gravels and sands to a lesser extent, which also provide good mechanical properties. The predominance of low-permeability formations limits deep infiltration, although it is possible to find shallow aquifers in specific areas.

Seismicity in the municipality is very low, with only 3 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.1, so it does not constitute a relevant factor in structural design. No signs of karstification have been detected in the subsurface. However, it is noted that expansive clays may appear locally—these areas require special monitoring, given the risk they pose to foundation stability. It is essential to carry out a detailed characterisation of each site in order to identify this condition as the main aspect to control in the municipality’s geotechnical study.
