tomyami Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Why are the new installed drains raised and not level with the road surface anybody? They appear to be the same all along the road i am lost here Edited September 9, 2022 by tomyami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post newnative Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 My partner and I noticed this, too. Our only thought was that maybe there will be a final surfacing of the road that will bring the road surface up to the level of the drains but as it is now they seem to be a hazard to both cars and motorbikes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom H Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Drainage only for rain level higher than 5 cm. Otherwise too much water in drainage? Water below 5 cm is draining in other areas. Capacity issue of the chanel below I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 There was a news story about it a month+ ago, they reassured local Thais that the road will be surfaced so it's flat. What they failed to mention is many man holes are already flush with the concrete so they can't have it both ways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 This is common at least on the Darkside they will eventually get around to it sooner when there is an accident. They are also used as speed bumps for motorbikes???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomyami Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 Looks like they will do the same the other side Water level will have to be 5cm before entering drain so road will hold some water As an alternative speed ramp there is no warning and its a main road so doubly hazardous it seem anything goes when it comes to road works lately Where cars are parked over them it looks ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grusa Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It's to stop water from going down the hole and ruining the tissue paper pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoguy21 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 If anything they should be very slightly below road level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger101 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 And why oh why have they started work on the other side when virtually no part of the original works (North side) has been finished. They have put the concrete down but for most of that side the pavements are in a terrible state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
