Sewers repaired

PATTAYA:-- Pattaya workers spread out across the city to clean and repair sewers following recent rain.

Damaged sewer lids were repaired on Soi Photisan, Beach Road and Soi 13/2, drain pipes and a clarifier were installed at the railway-parallel road, and workers fixed a leaking culvert and added sand to Wong Amat Beach in front of Saranchon Condominium. (PCPR)

If that's all they have done then don't forget your waders after the next storm.

The rains are a coming.

what about the beach.

Ya cant just fix the middle and expect it to work.

They need to start at Beach Road and clean all those storm drain culverts all the way back to the Dark Side.

 

they are chock a block full.......many of them are packed solid all the way up to flush with the asphalt on the street and they wonder why it floods when it rains.

 

In USA........the manholes are 10 feet deep and the drain pipe comes out at 6 feet.

So there is a 4 foot deep area that collects the sand and debris, then they go around once a year and clean out that 4 foot collection space.

Here in Thailand it is a 2 meter square box culvert with no sump........so all the debris just continues to build up and every year the drainage capacity gets lower n lower until there is none left........that equals flooding........I dont know why they dont get it????

Well now all they have to do is clean all the vegetation out of the canal from the Rayong road to Na Jomtien in other words the full length of the railway reserve that way the water will be able to flow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So they've cleaned some of the sewers; that's sorted the flooding problem out for another year.

Much of Pattaya is less than 10 feet above high water level.  Dig them that deep here and they'll flow backwards.

That sewer drainage pipe doesn't seem big enough for all the garbage that gets thrown into it.

Are these repairs undertaken in order to allow shit to flow more quickly onto the beaches?

Errr… no. They've made a start, a long way from complete.
