The asbestos roofing adjacent to Mizzi House, which houses the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority, in Blata l-Bajda has been removed.

PT Matic Environmental Services Ltd, which was entrusted with the job, said in a statement that materials were removed with minimum breakage. A dust suppressant was sprayed to the panels and debris to minimise any fibre release.

Upon completion of works, a thorough environmental clean-up was conducted.

All asbestos waste was double wrapped in thick gauge polythene, labelled and loaded into a steel container for disposal within a licensed landfill site in the EU.

Several tests were undertaken prior to, during, and subsequent to the removal works in all the areas, for the personnel’s safety and to ensure that no damage is done to the environment.
