Estudio geotécnico in Benetússer

In Benetússer, granular soils predominate, formed by compact gravels and sands, which provides excellent mechanical behaviour in terms of bearing capacity, facilitating shallow foundations and improving the overall stability of the ground. High permeability, derived from the abundance of these materials, translates into the presence of highly productive and extensive aquifers, which benefits the drainage of groundwater but requires adequate control during the execution of the works.

Seismicity in Benetússer is moderate, with 27 events over 30 years and a maximum recorded magnitude of 3.4, which means there is no need for extraordinary measures in structural design. Expansive clays only appear in a subordinate way or in areas with little anhydrous deficit, so the risk from expansivity is limited. The main geotechnical constraint in this municipality is control of water, given the permeability of the granular substrate.
