Types of ground in Canary Islands
The province of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands presents a complex geotechnical picture, characterised by its volcanic origin and a typological diversity of soils. In Gran Canaria, especially in the comarca of the South-East, formations of basaltic lava and pyroclastic materials are observed, which influence ground stability, an aspect that is crucial for geotechnical studies.
In Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, sedimentary rock predominates, with areas of loose material in coastal zones such as Corralejo. These characteristics require detailed analyses of loads and settlements for construction projects.
Sandstones, Conglomerates and Flysch
Sedimentary rocks formed by the cementation of fragments of other pre-existing rocks. They include sandstones (cemented sand), conglomerates (cemented gravels) and the rhythmic alternation of sandston

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

Urban anthropogenic infills
Soils created directly by man without technical control. Modern or ancient rubble, dried mud fill placed, and soil from nearby cuttings. They are completely heterogeneous, containing enormous boulders

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
