Research into practice.

This month’s QP Technical Talk brought together two areas of structural engineering research.

Matthew Bonanno presented his study of the Nuki joint, a traditional Japanese timber connection assembled without metal fixings. Nathan Farrugia shared his research into CFRP anchorage and the strengthening of reinforced concrete structures.

Led by QP Partner, Justin Mizzi and EY Malta’s Gilbert Guillaumier, QP hosted the first edition of our new advisory talks series in collaboration with EY Malta, bringing together key stakeholders from Malta’s retail, real estate and banking sectors for an exclusive preview of the EY Malta & QP Malta Shopping Mall Study.

The session served as a soft launch of the study, presenting early findings from the EY Future Consumer Survey, the Malta Shopping Mall Study and recent stakeholder research, followed by an open Q&A, discussion and debate. The feedback gathered will now help shape the final version of the study, which is set to launch publicly later this year.

This marks the beginning of a new advisory series hosted at QP, designed to bring industry leaders together around the topics shaping Malta’s built environment, commercial landscape and long-term development.

With the successful completion of the Xehda Project for HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c., we’re proud to reflect on an incredible journey. Our Cost Management and Project Management teams at QP played a key role in transforming HSBC’s Qormi campus into a modern, sustainable and future-ready environment.

Originally appointed to manage the major works, our role evolved throughout the project to include overseeing a wider team of contractors, suppliers and consultants across the site. Thanks to the trust placed in us by HSBC, we were also entrusted with managing additional key areas, including the Z&C Car Park and the HUB Landscaping.

The completion of this landmark project is a testament to the collaborative effort, resilience and dedication of everyone involved. We are delighted to have contributed to delivering a development that will serve HSBC for years to come.
