Types of ground in Pedreguer
In Pedreguer, limestones, dolomites and marbles predominate, accompanied in second place by compact gravels and sands, which provides a subsoil with good bearing capacity for foundations. The occasional presence of fine sands and silts, as well as the scarce hard clays and marls, suggests an area that is generally favourable for ground stability and strength, although the low permeability of the formations indicates potential for aquifers linked to surface levels in some cases.
Seismicity in the municipality is very low, with only around 3 events over 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 2.7, so it is not a relevant factor for structural design. Nevertheless, the presence of carbonate materials conditions the possibility of karst processes developing, and the presence of cavities must be thoroughly checked before undertaking any foundation work. As the subsoil is free of expansive clays, there is no risk associated with instability due to this phenomenon, and the assessment of karst is the main geotechnical factor to control.
Limestones, Dolomites and Marbles
karstic structures (caves, sinkholes, dolines) that pose the main geotechnical risk.

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:

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
