Types of ground in Galende
In the municipality of Galende, the subsoils are predominantly composed of slates and schists, occasionally accompanied by granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks. These materials give the ground high mechanical strength, which favours its bearing capacity and allows direct or shallow foundation solutions to be selected in many areas. However, their low permeability may lead to the presence of surface water layers, which can influence the choice of the drainage system on site.
The seismicity in Galende is classified as moderate, with 23 events recorded over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 3.3, which implies limited risks in terms of structural design. The non-clayey substrate rules out the presence of expansiveness as a risk factor. Therefore, the main geotechnical constraint to consider will be the possible presence of shallow aquifers and the appropriate management of water in the vicinity of the foundations.
Phyllites and schists
Metamorphic rocks characterised by their foliation (parallel planes of weakness or slaty cleavage). Very common in Galicia, Asturias, the north of León, Extremadura and Sierra Morena. They are highly

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
