Estudio geotécnico in Viator

In Viator, the subsoil is composed mainly of fine sands and silts, with a significant presence of carbonate materials such as limestones, dolomites and marbles. These soils generally exhibit an adequate bearing capacity for conventional foundations, provided that the presence of surface water bodies is ruled out; these are identified occasionally and could condition the depth of founding and the choice of foundation type.

Seismic activity in Viator is very low, with only 5 events in the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude that does not exceed 3.5, minimising the need for specific adaptations in structural design. Since the predominant bedrock is not clayey, the risk of expansivity is considered dismissed; therefore, the main geotechnical focus should be on controlling permeability and groundwater levels, due to the existence of local aquifers with moderate production.
