Estudio geotécnico in Valdeganga

The municipality of Valdeganga is characterised primarily by the presence of limestones, dolomites and marbles, which make up 76.81% of its ground. This type of substrate, due to its consistency and structure, usually provides a good bearing capacity for foundations, provided that the appropriate geotechnical studies are carried out to determine any potential challenges related to soil hardness and variability. In addition, compact gravels and sands, which account for approximately 20.89%, favour good structural support, enabling the execution of shallow foundations in these materials.

Seismicity in Valdeganga is moderate, with a historical maximum magnitude of 1.8 and approximately 3 events in the last 30 years, so it does not represent a main constraint for structural design. However, the presence of karst must be verified thoroughly before proceeding with foundation works, as it may affect the stability of the support and require specific measures. The absence of expansivity risks, since the substrate does not feature predominantly expansive clays, helps to reduce possible differential movements in structures.
