More Business at the Main Street Complex Paola
26 February 2012
The GRTU has this week attended a meeting at the Roads and Infrastructure Directorate (RID) to discuss the further expansion of Main Street Complex in Paola scheduled for the first week of March. The site is located in Paola's busy main square. It is approximately 30.0 metres deep and one of MEPA's conditions is to retain the existing façade. For this reason it was discussed there is no other logical way to work safely except to mobilize a tower crane that will be capable to carry out all different trades.
GRTU would like to inform that the base of the tower crane will be located by the building and will exceed slightly further than the pavement itself onto the parking bay. A safe passage for pedestrians going down in the direction of the Hibs club will be provided during the five (5) months of construction works. A safe passage will thus be constructed starting from current MAIN STREET complex and extending to the other side of the site with the main part being roofed over not to inconvene pedestrians with any possible concrete droplets or any other small debris. When lifting heavy objects, all pedestrian activity will stop until the material is hoisted from the truck to the site entrance. This agreement has been reached between the Paola Local Council, the GRTU and TM.
