Balearic Islands’ Port Authority (APB) has begun the demolition works of different buildings in the Cós Nou, of Maó’s Port, with the aim of preparing this area for the future extension and improvement of the operational capacity at the freight and passengers terminal. Specifically, the buildings include a bar and a warehouse –acquired by the APB from its previous ow-ners- and a deck in the Naval Station’s dock, hence heavy machinery is being used. Prior to the demolition works, the buildings have been dismantled by disassembling doors, carpentry works, furniture and electrical appliances, among other equipment. Likewise, authorization from the Ministry of Labour of the Government of the Balearic Islands has been requested to decontaminate the buildings with asbestos roofs. Works in the area of Cala Figuera are expected to start next week, where six dwellings and five wa-rehouses acquired by the APB will be demolished. A future nautical facility is projected in this area in order to reactivate the sector in Maó’s port. For the time being, the area will be covered with gravel until the land is redistributed. The contract was tendered up to 725.000€ and it has been finally awarded at an amount of 424.534€ to the firm M. Polo SL. The duration of the works will be 10 months.
