Types of ground in Calp
The predominant substrate in Calp is mainly composed of limestones, dolomites and marbles, which constitute a material with high bearing capacity and good load-supporting capacity for deep foundations. The presence of overconsolidated clays and marls, although in smaller proportions, may require specific treatments to reduce risks in shallow foundations. The formations have low or zero permeability, which favours ground stability but also limits the discharge of groundwater.
Seismicity in Calp is very low, with only one recorded event every 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2, indicating a minimum seismic risk for the structure. However, the presence of karst must be carefully verified before proceeding with foundations, as it may affect the stability of the project. The soil presents no risk of expansivity, which facilitates construction planning. In general, the main factor conditioning the geotechnical study in Calp is the certification and risk assessment of karst.
Limestones, Dolomites and Marbles
karstic structures (caves, sinkholes, dolines) that pose the main geotechnical risk.

Overconsolidated clays and marls (Duras)
Cohesive soils with a hard feel, sometimes with a rock-like appearance when dry (grey marls, pre-Pyrenean facies, deep Guadalquivir basin). They have a long history of geological compression in the pa

Fine sands and silts
Fine to very fine granular soils with medium to loose compacity. Typical of floodplains and coastlines. Although they can support light buildings, they are treacherous soils linked to water processes:
