Types of ground in Valsequillo de Gran Canaria
The municipality of Valsequillo de Gran Canaria is characterised by the dominant presence of igneous rocks, such as granite and gneiss, which form a highly competent and stable geological substratum for construction. These materials guarantee a high bearing capacity and make it possible to design direct surface or near-shallow foundations with few technical restrictions. The secondary levels of sandstone and conglomerate also provide good strength, while the hard clays, present in a minority proportion, usually do not interfere with the design, although it is advisable to verify specific locations.
Seismicity in this area is very low, with only two events recorded over 30 years with a maximum magnitude of 3.9, which minimises the seismic requirements in structural design. As there are no karst-related phenomena or risks associated with significant expansivity, the main technical consideration in Valsequillo de Gran Canaria lies in characterising the rock mass to optimise the foundation solution and ensure adequate drainage, given the moderate permeability.
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
