Types of ground in Olite/Erriberri
In Olite/Erriberri, the dominant subsoil is composed mainly of compact gravels and sands, which provides high load-bearing soils and good conditions for the design of shallow foundations. In addition, there are smaller contributions of fine sands, silts and rocky formations such as limestones, dolomites and marbles. The occasional presence of gypsum, anhydrite and salts can create a dissolution risk, which is important to assess in detailed studies prior to construction, especially in areas where these materials are identified. Highly permeable aquifers benefit drainage, but require special attention in areas of deep excavation.
The level of seismicity in this municipality is moderate, with 18 events over 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 2.1, which implies a low impact on structural design from a seismic point of view. As this is not an area with an clayey subsoil, the risk of expansivity is ruled out. There are also no signs of significant karstification in the surrounding area. Therefore, the most significant constraint for geotechnical studies in Olite/Erriberri lies in the location of gypsum and salts, given their possible implications for the durability and stability of the foundation.
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

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:

Sandstones, Conglomerates and Flysch

Gypsum, Anhydrite and Salts
Chemically formed sedimentary rocks produced by the precipitation of minerals dissolved in closed basins. Gypsum predominates (calcium sulphate) and, to a lesser extent, anhydrite and salts (halite).
