Estudio geotécnico in Verges

In Verges, the predominant subsoil is made up of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch, together with a significant proportion of fine sands and silts. These materials usually stand out for having adequate bearing capacity for most buildings, facilitating shallow foundation solutions when firm ground is found at little depth. However, the presence of deltaic deposits of mud and peat represents a critical point, since these soft and organic soils must be avoided as a founding level due to their low strength and high compressibility.

From the seismic standpoint, Verges has a very low hazard level, with a maximum of 1 event over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2,8, which does not constitute a significant restriction for structural design. Analysis of the subsoil rules out the presence of significant expansiveness, as no expansive clays are found. As the main geotechnical constraint, special care is recommended during the investigation phase to identify and avoid the mud and peat layers during foundation works, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the designed structures.
