Answer

What risks need to be checked before work starts at Plaça Major in Mallorca?

The main concerns are not limited to visible cracks in the concrete. Beneath Plaça Major there are utility shafts, shops, an old floor structure and a long-used car park, so structural, geotechnical and drainage issues all matter. Any redevelopment in Mallorca’s city centre should also consider hidden pipes, private installations and the effect of heavy machinery.
