Why were piles used in foundations on the site to build the new Parliament building in Valletta? I doubt very much if they were necessary.

Our limestone has a strong bearing capacity.

The building is not high-rise and loads should not be that high. Apart from the extra expense the substrata would be damaged with all that vibration and impact.
