Bangkok administration to tighten up controls on selection of contractors

[webfact]

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) may introduce a new set of guidelines for the selection of contractors to implement its major construction projects, in an effort to tighten up controls on construction sites relating to the environment, drainage systems and overweight trucks.

 

The new measures were raised at a meeting yesterday (Friday) between senior city officials, led by Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, Deputy Governor Wisanu Subsompon, director of the Public Works Department Tawatchai Napasaksri and representatives of more than 30 construction firms which have engaged in the construction of roads, bridges, overpasses, elevated roads and buildings in the capital.

 

The meeting was called after an accident on Monday night when a segment of an overpass under construction in Lat Krabang district collapsed, killing two people and injuring about 10 others.

They can make all the new rules they want....few will take the slightest notice of them......and when money is involved, all rules are null and void!
