AĠĠORNAMENT KAŻ NAXXAR
Aktar kmieni llum twettqet spezzjoni dettaljata fuq is-sit inkwistjoni. L-uffiċjali tal-BCA, flimkien mar-rappreżentanti tal-OHSA, periti tal-awtoritajiet konċernati, perit indipendenti kif ukoll il-periti tal-iżviluppatur, aċċedew għas-sit fejn saru diversi investigazzjonijiet tekniċi fuq il-binja.
Wara l-kostatazzjonijiet ipprovduti minn Dr Adrian Mifsud, Geotechnical Engineer ingaġġat bħala espert indipendenti mill-Awtorità, il-BCA kkonfermat li l-binjiet li jinsabu barra mis-sit tal-kostruzzjoni huma siguri. Saret spezzjoni wkoll fis-sit fejn qed isir ix-xogħol ta' kostruzzjoni flimkien mal-Professur Alex Torpiano, espert ingaġġat mill-iżviluppatur. Għaldaqstant, il-familji li kienu ġew evakwati bħala miżura ta’ prekawzjoni jistgħu jirritornaw lura fid-djar tagħhom.
Madankollu, l-Awtorità, f’konsultazzjoni mal-esperti, tqis li għadu prematur biex l-appartamenti u strutturi li jinsabu fis-sit inkwistjoni u li kien qed jintużaw jergghu jiġi okkupat f’dan l-istadju.
Il-Ħamis filgħaxija ġew evakwati total ta’ 13-il familja bħala miżura ta’ prekawzjoni. Il-BCA, flimkien ma’ awtoritajiet oħra, tibqa’ impenjata li tħares id-drittijiet u s-sigurtà tal-partijiet kollha, u qed tadotta approċċ proattiv. L-evakwazzjoni li saret nhar il-Ħamis kienet miżura ta’ prekawzjoni proattiva sabiex tiġi żgurata s-sigurtà ta’ terzi persuni sakemm issir valutazzjoni komprensiva tas-sit u tal-binjiet fil-viċinanzi.
Fuq is-sit inkwistjoni fin-Naxxar il-BCA wettqet total ta’ 110 spezzjoni, ħarġet 71 struzzjoni bil-miktub rigward xogħlijiet ta’ kostruzzjoni, u ħarġet ukoll 7 multi u kontravenzjonijiet. Dan abbażi ta’ rapporti li waslu għandu dwar is-sit u kif ukoll abbażi ta’ spezzjonijiet, investigazzjonijiet mwettqa mill-istess Awtorità.
Is-sit għadu taħt investigazzjoni, filwaqt li l-awtoritajiet qed iżommu kuntatt kontinwu mal-familji konċernati u mal-partijiet kollha involuti.

Earlier today, a detailed inspection was carried out on the site in question. Officials from the BCA, together with representatives of the OHSA, architects from the concerned authorities, an independent architect, as well as the developer's architects, accessed the site where various technical investigations on the building were conducted.
Following the findings provided by Dr Adrian Mifsud, Geotechnical Engineer engaged as an independent expert by the Authority, the BCA confirmed that the buildings situated outside the construction site are safe. An inspection was also carried out on the site where construction work is taking place, together with Professor Alex Torpiano, an expert engaged by the developer. Consequently, the families who had been evacuated as a precautionary measure may return to their homes.
Nevertheless, the Authority, in consultation with the experts, considers that it is still premature for the sole apartment located on the site in question, which was being used as a residence, to be reoccupied at this stage.
On Thursday evening, a total of 13 families were evacuated as a precautionary measure. The BCA, together with other authorities, remains committed to safeguarding the rights and safety of all parties, and is adopting a proactive approach.
