the layers in the 30 m below
Explanation:
The ST has "estratos en los 30 m por debajo". It seems to me that if it were "at" 30 m below, there would not be layers (plural), but only one layer at any given depth. And the fact that it has the plural "los 30 m por debajo" indicates to me that the reference is to depths ranging from the top of the piles to a depth 30 m below the top of the piles. Normally, a soil profile has a series of strata, or layers, over a range of depths.

strata at 30 m below

En el caso de estructuras con cimentaciones profundas a base de pilotes, el perfil de suelo es el que corresponda a los estratos en los 30 m por debajo del extremo superior de los pilotes.

In the case of structures with deep pile-based foundations, the soil profile is that which corresponds to the strata at 30 m below the upper end of the piles.
