Types of ground in Sant Celoni
In Sant Celoni, the subsoil is dominated mainly by granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks, representing 56.25% of the total, accompanied by compact gravels and sands, as well as a smaller presence of slates, schists, sandstones and conglomerates. This geological profile favours a high bearing capacity and allows direct, shallow foundation solutions in most cases, although it is essential to consider the possible presence of altered or weathered levels in the granitic areas. The formations identified show very low permeability; this affects the natural drainage of water and may require additional studies to prevent drainage problems.
The area is characterised by very low seismicity, with only 9 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.7, which establishes a favourable context for structural design without the need for specific measures due to seismic activity. On the other hand, the analysis of expansivity rules out risks associated with clayey soils, since the predominant substrate does not contain this type of mineral. In conclusion, in Sant Celoni, the main geotechnical factor to consider will be the quality and condition of the rock mass alteration at the specific project site.
Granite, gneiss and igneous rocks
Igneous and metamorphic rocks with very high mechanical strength. They form the most competent and stable substrate. They predominate in the Sistema Central, in Galicia, and in outcrops of the Hercyni

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

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

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
