On April 28, the Presidents of the Malta Chamber of Geologists (MCG) and the Chamber of Engineers accompanied by the respective secretary-general, held a productive meeting focused on deepening the professional ties between their respective fields. The meeting identified new opportunities for cross-disciplinary cooperation and addressed industry-wide challenges through coordinated efforts to ensure tangible benefits for the Maltese engineering and geology sectors. The two Chambers reaffirmed a shared commitment to elevating the quality and safety of Malta’s built environment.

This meeting underscores a long-term vision of collaboration, ensuring both professions work in tandem to uphold high professional standards for Malta. 

PR 10 Chamber of Geologists introduces membership numbers for public Safety

The Malta Chamber of Geologists (MCG) is issuing this Press Release to highlight a critical gap in the nation's construction legislation regarding ground investigations. Current regulatory failures are directly undermining public safety and the integrity of the building industry. Despite repeated representations, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has failed to formally recognize the geology profession thereby allowing non-geologists to handle complex geological assessments resulting in increased risks of structural failures, posing a direct threat to the public and property.

In response to this legislative vacuum, the Chamber is taking decisive action to protect the public. We are introducing a verification system designed to empower the public and industry stakeholders. Through this new method, developers and citizens can quickly verify whether a person conducting a ground investigation is a fully qualified, competent geologist. By ensuring only experts handle these critical assessments, we can mitigate risks and uphold professional standards in the Maltese construction sector.
