King's Square will change its appearance over the next two months with a series of pergolas which like artificial trees will provide shade for this unique and distinctive area of downtown.
This week the contractor of the works (the joint venture made up Pavasal Construction Company SA, Electrical Installations and Structures Mediterranean SL Loyma S. L) have begun to build the bindings of the feet of these arbors, which have begun to be supplied Now for the company cartagenera TAMAR.
Its manufacturing process in galvanized steel and special forms, has been complicated and has taken longer than originally planned, as noted by the Councillor for Infrastructure and Services, José Vicente Albaladejo.
The project has a budget allocation of 446,000 euros and will respond to one of the gaps does the lack of shadow areas most criticized by the public after the construction of underground parking in the early 90's and consequent elimination of its trees .
The design of the pergolas, with arms and trunks at different heights, to be located in imitation of a forest, is the architect of Cartagena Bernardino García, who also designed the renovation of Park Reeds.
The proposed solution is the result of the impossibility of planting large trees in the parking area.
To alleviate the impact of sunlight, it is sieved with canvas shades of green and brown autumn, more pleasant to walk and stay below them.
