Estudio geotécnico in El Palau d'Anglesola

In El Palau d'Anglesola, the ground is composed mainly of compact gravel and sand, which provides a solid foundation for most construction projects. These materials typically have excellent bearing capacity, enabling the implementation of direct and cost-effective foundation solutions, while the low permeability at depth minimises the risk of water migration towards the structure, although shallow aquifers may exist in certain areas.

As regards seismicity, the municipality shows very low seismic activity, with a limited number of events and low magnitudes (Mmax 2.5), which minimises the need for special considerations in the seismic design of structures. Expansive clays are present in a subordinate manner and in particular locations, normally in climatic zones where their impact is low; therefore, the key factor in the geotechnical study of the area focuses on characterising the depth-to-bearing layer of compact gravel and sand.
