Estudio geotécnico in Vilallonga del Camp

In Vilallonga del Camp, soils formed by compacted gravels and sands predominate, which gives the subsoil a high bearing capacity ideal for different types of shallow and semi-deep foundations. The granular nature of these materials favours structural stability and, in addition, significantly minimises differential settlement in buildings or infrastructure.

Seismic activity in this area is very low, with only 6 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.6, which implies an almost negligible seismic risk for structural design. Since the substrate is not clayey, the presence of expansive soils is ruled out, further reducing the geotechnical risks associated. The main constraint for geotechnical studies in Vilallonga del Camp focuses on the detailed characterisation of local permeability, especially in areas where shallow aquifers may exist.
