Types of ground in Province of Barcelona
The province of Barcelona has a varied topography that significantly influences the analysis of soils for geotechnical studies. The metropolitan area, in particular, contains alluvial sedimentary soils in zones such as the Llobregat and the Besòs, characterised by gravels, sands and silts, which are ideal for deep foundations.
In contrast, the areas of the comarca of Bages and the eastern interior have clayey and marly-terrain soils with high plasticity and low bearing capacity, requiring special considerations for the stability of structures. The coastal area, including municipalities such as Sitges and Castelldefels, has silty-sandy and cemented soils in shallow aquifers, influenced by proximity to the sea.
These diverse geological conditions across the province call for a thorough analysis to determine the feasibility of new infrastructures and optimise construction solutions, ensuring the safety and sustainability of the project.
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

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

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

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:
