profundidades no hincables

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Site preparation for solar farm
SPAIN. This appears in a document about a legal dispute between two companies over unsatisfactory preparatory on-site earthworks carried out by one of them.


"(Company name) transmitía que la potencia de hincado (espesor o profundidad que sería hincable) en las zonas de terreno cuya cimentación sería mediante hincado directo o solución de micropilote, la existencia de material rocoso o “bolos” (piedras puntuales) sería prácticamente nula, ya que durante los trabajos de movimiento de tierras se realizó una selección del material dejando la capa de terreno hincable con el material “cribado”, mientras que el material rocoso estaría enterrado a ***profundidades no hincables***"
