Types of ground in Cabrera de Mar
In Cabrera de Mar, compact gravels and sands predominate, accompanied by a significant presence of granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks. These types of subsoil provide a high bearing capacity, which favours the execution of both shallow and deep foundations. The low permeability of most of these formations prevents problems associated with seepage, although shallow aquifers may exist in certain areas; therefore, it is recommended that the possible presence of groundwater be assessed before carrying out the foundation.
Seismicity in Cabrera de Mar can be considered very low, with only 5 significant events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 1.6, which minimises the influence of seismic activity on structural design. The non-clayey subsoil rules out risks of expansivity; therefore, the determining factor in geotechnical studies will be ensuring the quality and compactness of the granular and rock-based ground in the immediate vicinity of the planned foundations.
Compact gravels and sands
High-compacity granular deposits, typically associated with old fluvial terraces (Ebro, Duero, Tajo, Guadalquivir rivers) and Pleistocene glacis. They have no cohesion (they are not clays) but their a

Granite, gneiss and igneous rocks
Igneous and metamorphic rocks with very high mechanical strength. They form the most competent and stable substrate. They predominate in the Sistema Central, in Galicia, and in outcrops of the Hercyni
