Our present day company started from scratch. Back then work was done solely using man power until machinery started arriving
on our Maltese islands. Dynamite was used on large projects such as the Jerma Palace Hotel, which belonged to the Corinthia
group in Malta, the Qawra Palace Hotel in Qawra, Malta and the Holiday Inn Complex in Tigne. Main roads in Valletta, St. Paul's
Bay bypass and all the roads at Tigne sea front were all constructed using dynamite, as also were many factories. In 1980
the use of dynamite became illegal and hydraulic breakers mounted on hydraulic excavators took over.
