Estudio geotécnico in El Viso de San Juan

In El Viso de San Juan, water-bearing bodies predominate, indicating the presence of aquifers of moderate permeability and production. Although these aquifers are extensive and have a localised distribution, they require detailed characterisation because water saturation significantly conditions the ground’s bearing capacity. For the design of foundations, it is recommended to avoid submerged support levels and to deepen the investigation of the load-bearing stratum beneath these water-bearing bodies, seeking areas with more stable and resistant responses to structural loading.

The municipality’s seismicity is high, reflected in a total of 200 events over the last 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 5.1, which implies the need to incorporate constructive solutions that take this factor into account in structural design. Although expansive clays appear only in a subordinate way and are linked to less critical climatic zones, their presence cannot be ruled out and must be considered during the drilling campaign. Seismicity is recognised as the main geotechnical constraint, requiring specific verification to ensure the safety of future developments.
