Popular Post Nojohndoe Posted September 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2021 Rinse and repeat... Something I have never understood in Thailand is the absence of or minimal storm water reticulation in a country that annually experiences monsoon downpours. Major highways are so often made flat and level with no designed channels to take water away and the grass verges allowed build up above the road surface which results in the road itself becoming a canal until some point where the water finds an exit. Extreme hazard at night. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the excess water is evacuated at this place, it is important not to put the sand back but on the contrary to maintain and consolidate this passage. Water has a habit of running downhill to the lowest point... that's where a bl**dy great drain should be located to take it away somewhere it can't do any harm. And on the way lots of larger drains so flooding can't take place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gold Star Posted September 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2021 When I lived near there, I watched them work for many months building this elaborate and expensive storm runoff T-junction. There was a large underground concrete drain enclosure bunker taking all the water from beach road and from the street adjoining it at this T intersection. The overflowing manhole cover in the middle of the intersection indicates a blockage to the enclosure from the intersecting street storm drain. The pressure must have worked around the underground side of the costly structure, washing it away. So glad I don't have to put up with months of construction again and traffic jams, but feel sorry for those that will be impacted by this result of poor engineering and construction. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2umich Posted September 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2021 I was always wondering, why those protesters who want to remove government, never try to keep accountable local administrations responsible for road repair, as corruption on local level is much more obvious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post geisha Posted September 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2021 They had huge road works going on a year back with the biggest pipes I’ve ever seen. What a huge waste of money and time . Just look at the pavements caving in everywhere. That’s Thai workmanship for you. Same in most condos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
