Some of the latest environmental monitoring equipment has been installed within a number of chambers as well as in the immediate vicinity of the monument. This equipment provides precise data on the environment at the site including wind speed and direction, humidity, rainfall, solar radiation, barometric pressure and temperature. This data will be analysed by Heritage Malta’s conservation specialists, allowing them to understand better the site’s deterioration and the measures necessary for its preservation.

Progress has also been made with regard to the design of modern visitor facilities. The building has been designed in a sensitive manner both with respect to the archaeological value and potential of the site, as well as the surrounding residential streetscape. The centre’s location was chosen in collaboration with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage in order to minimise the risk of damaging any archaeological remains. Preparatory monitored excavations at this location will commence shortly.
