Shoddy PEA repair job nearly collapses granny’s home

PATTAYA:--The Provincial Electricity Authority has been forced to reinforce the foundation of an elderly Jomtien Beach woman’s home after it abandoned a large hole that exacerbated erosion under the house.

 

Sawai Chaiboonruang, assistant manager of the PEA’s Jomtien office, visited the Sukhumvit Soi 87 home of 74-year-old Sek Boonsingh Sept. 5 after she repeatedly complained she could not sleep anymore due to fear her house would collapse.

 

PEA workers had dug a large hole in front of her house to replace a power pole and install underground equipment. In the process, they damaged water pipes that caused soil under the house to erode, and then simply abandoned the job.

A drunk driver crashed into an electricity post severely cracking it leaving it in a precarious position overhanging the security guards' porch and a house.  The electricity board responded immediately and agreed the post needed replacing.  The drunk's family paid for repairing the neighbour's house which were completed within a week.

That was five months ago.  We still await the post's replacement.

damaged the pipe?  From the photo it looks like they put the darn pole foundation right in the middle of the pipe!  That is just plain nutty, and not an accident
