Types of ground in Province of Pontevedra
The province of Pontevedra, located in the Autonomous Community of Galicia, exhibits varied geotechnical characteristics, where granitic geology predominates, especially in the comarcas of Salnés and Morrazo. Areas with alluvial deposits and clayey soils, such as the Lérez River depression in Pontevedra, present foundation challenges. For a geotechnical study, it is crucial to take into account the presence of residual granite soils, common in municipalities such as Vigo and Ponteareas, due to their high load-bearing capacity and drainage.
Sandstones, Conglomerates and Flysch
Sedimentary rocks formed by the cementation of fragments of other pre-existing rocks. They include sandstones (cemented sand), conglomerates (cemented gravels) and the rhythmic alternation of sandston

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:
