The truth is I had no idea what a geotechnical study was; I just knew the council asked for it for the project. They explained everything to us with a lot of patience (I asked a thousand questions).

Types of ground in Province of León

The province of León has varied geography, with prominent mountainous relief to the north in the Cantabrian Range and extensive plains in the southern part of the Northern Meseta. For carrying out a geotechnical study, it is essential to take into account the predominantly limestone soils in the north, whereas the south has clayey soils and alluvial deposits. These factors affect the bearing capacity of the ground, and at the same time influence the choice of foundations for developments in districts such as El Bierzo or Tierra de León.
