Pattaya announces 3-phase flood-mitigation project

PATTAYA:--Pattaya officials said they have a three-phase plan to reduce flooding on Beach Road, but although details were lacking for the 3rd phase.

 

Deputy Mayor Poramet Ngampichet met Oct. 25 with city engineers and sanitation staffers, Marine Department officials and the consultant to the ongoing Pattaya Beach restoration project.

 

The meeting was called in response to another disastrous rainy season in Pattaya where, unable to use existing pipes to drain water from Beach Road efficiently, the city demolished parts of the shoreline footpath to let water drain into the sea, cutting huge swaths out of a beach currently being rebuilt at the cost of more than a half-billion baht.

 

Poramet said the first urgent stage is to clean out all the pipes leading to the beach and manage the existing drainage system at critical points.

 

The second phase, he said, calls for improvement of the existing drainage system along Beach Road, including relatively new, wide and long pipelines at Soi 6/1 and near the old pier in South Pattaya.

Oh, sweet Christ, 

 

Just keep all your ideas to yourself please. Everyone knows that you won't follow up on any of it and even if you do, it will be done wrong because the money set side to do it properly is gone.

 

Please, no more! Better to stay quiet and do nothing as history tells us over and over again regarding Pattaya.

 

Stop talking please!

Here's a one stage solution: Put your wellies on!

That's because there are no details. Pattaya city officials do everything on a wing and prayer.

Mitigation: the action to reduce the severity of something

ok.hmmmm

Phase1: after each flood wait 24 hours for the  water to drain naturally

Phase2: collect and remove all garbage floods brought in.

Phase3: All pray so next one isn't so bad

The third phase, Poramet said, would entail long-term development. No other details were forthcoming is to repeat announcing Phase 1 and Phase 2 at two or three year intervals.

Anyone else noticed that City Hall always makes announcements regarding flooding at the start of the dry season.

ts a Thai thing.

The 3 stage process is actually only 2 1/2stages.

They have not spun out the 3rd stage yet

Should this not raise some (more) warning flags....

Old pipes will be linked with the newer, larger pipelines every 30 meters so that water moves through them at 0.6-3 meters per second. Any slower and sediment builds up and clogs pipes. Any faster and the pipes break.

The spec seems to have been a little lacking.............or not if you believe the brown envelope carousel scenario.........

Aha, its flood budgeting time and somehow the numbers need to be jacked up! 

Phase 1 - appoint a committee to discover why water runs downhill.

Phase 2 - appoint a committee to reverse the above findings.

Phase 3 - all flood water now runs into Maprachan reservoir.

I hope they don't take your suggestion too serious and blow millions of baht for a one-word committee report that says "gravity!"
