Infrastructure Industry
Infrastructure projects in Malta are governed by Cap. 646 and the specific requirements of the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) and Transport Malta.
Key Local Context for 2026:
2026 Extreme Weather Instrument: Under the new Administrative Instrument No. 1 of 2026, all outdoor infrastructure works must stop during a Red Alert Weather Warning. We ensure your site has a pre-prepared contingency plan to secure scaffolding, tower cranes, and loose materials before the storm hits.
Client Representative Roles: Under S.L. 646.27, project owners can now appoint a Client Representative to assume legal responsibility. Websedia works alongside these representatives to ensure every contractor on-site is fully regulated.
Public Safety & Traffic Management: In the congested streets of Malta, infrastructure safety isn’t just about the workers; it’s about the pedestrians and drivers. Our Workplace Inspections focus heavily on the integrity of barriers, signage, and lighting to mitigate third-party liability.
The “Eye for Detail” in Utilities: Working near water, electricity, or telecommunications requires precision. We interfere before “wrongdoings” occur, putting your mind at ease while your team handles the heavy lifting.
