Answer

Can heavy machinery be used safely at Plaça Major in Palma?

Heavy machinery adds risk when it operates above an older underground structure, so a simple inspection is not enough. Palma would need clear load limits, protected zones, monitoring for movement or cracks, and an emergency plan if problems appear. Without those safeguards, construction could affect both the plaza and the businesses below it.
