The Regional Government of Madeira has approved complementary works to ensure the watertightness of the Machico Health Center building.
The Regional Government Council, through Resolution no. 575/2026, has authorized complementary works for the energy improvement project at the Machico Health Center. This intervention is part of the contract signed between the Autonomous Region of Madeira and the company RIM - Engenharia e Construções, S.A., integrated into a broader project for energy efficiency in two public buildings.
Following a technical analysis of the construction progress, it was found that the building continued to show issues related to water infiltration. To ensure the proper watertightness of the infrastructure, it was determined that the entire roof capping needs to be replaced and waterproofed.
The resolution delegates to the Regional Secretary of Equipment and Infrastructure the powers to sign the contract amendment, with the Regional Director of Social Equipment and Conservation responsible for managing the execution phase. The financial costs will be covered by funds allocated in the Budget of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, as provided for in Ordinance no. 235/2026.
The fourth amendment to the programme agreement between the Region and the Municipality of Machico sets the maximum contribution for the renovation and reconstruction of Porto da Cruz Cemetery at €5,141,706.98. The agreement remains in force until 31 December 2026.
The Region has approved the multi-year allocation of costs for the design and construction of the Machico Pavilion. The total amount is €4,175,000, plus VAT, with the largest share scheduled for 2029.
The Regional Government has authorised additional construction supervision and monitoring services for Madeira Central Hospital, at an extra cost of up to €29,620. The service period increases from 105 to 107 months, and the contract’s maximum term rises from 228 to 230 months.
