Pumps installed on flood-prone Sukhumvit stretch

 

 

PATTAYA:--Pattaya workers laid pipes and installed pumps to mitigate flooding on Sukhumvit Road.

Deputy Mayor Pattana Boonsawad oversaw the project at the South Pattaya end of the busy thoroughfare July 3.

 

The site floods every time there is a storm and it’s hoped the additional pumps will make a difference.

Yes, but the contractor had to deliver a brown envelope to get the contract for this job, and he had to compensate that bribe by using substandard material.

Pumps installed never to be maintained no doubt.

They will be maintained after being found to not working during the next downpour. 

Either that, require replacement or someone losing the keys but it's just predictable a stuff up of some kind will occur.

great question, would it be to the ditch in the middle of the road???

They are about 30 times too small unless they are really high pressure

Now, let's just hope they don;t lose the key to turn it on

Well they did pump the water back into that cave !!

The pumps will probably be about as useful as an Ashtray on a Motorbike.

It's called the gulf

6” .... hmmm ...  from the amount of water that arrives n sits there one would think 18” might be closer to amending the regular Noah’s arc scenario in ‘The World Class Resort’
