Construction Industry Facing Imminent Paralysis


The emergency situation over the shortage of dumping sites for construction waste, has now reached critical proportions as some 400 excavation and demolition contractors are facing a total standstill as they cannot find any legal dumping solution at any price.
The Malta Developers Association is lamenting that now it is no longer a situation of escalating dumping costs pushing up property prices. Members are not finding any dumping sites that will accept their construction waste at any cost.
The Association appeals to the Government to take immediate and definitive action as the industry cannot be left in limbo indefinitely. MDA insists that this problem is not being caused only through private construction projects, but also through substantial public projects including national infrastructure and Housing Authority projects that are ongoing at the moment.
