New Pattaya Hospital Nearing Completion

The new Pattaya Hospital is now one-third completed and will be fully operational by May or June of next year.

Ruamka Teerakarn Construction Business Company, the builders responsible for the Pattaya Hospital, recently held a conference attended by board of directors and Pattaya governmental officers to report on the progress

of the construction of the Pattaya Hospital.

A representative from the company explained that the Bureau of Environment and Health of Pattaya contracted with them to construct the five story Pattaya Hospital, consisting of twenty two rooms and eighty-five beds. With a budget of 177,080,000 baht, the project began on March 19, 2009 and is to be completed by October 19, 2010.

“So far we have completed four floors and we’re now at the stage of structuring the fifth floor with cement,” he continued.

Board of Directors and Pattaya's Government official discussed the progression of the Pattaya Hospital.

Mr. Wichai Teeraparpwong, a representative from Teerakarn Construction Business Company, added, “We have been progressing a little faster than what we planned. The project is sure to be fully completed before the assigned date.”

The construction of the Pattaya Hospital did not always go smoothly according to the contractors.

“The problems that we faced included the fact that we could not build some walls because we were waiting for large medical machines to be installed before we could construct the concrete walls,” said Mr. Chiwcharn Pahusatjaruk, another representative from Teerakarn Construction Business Company.

Another problem was the insufficient power supply. Currently, there is not enough electrical power to support the two buildings: the hospital building and the building that holds supporting materials required by the hospital.

“The issues that were mentioned by constructors have been put forward and will be fixed immediately. So, we still believe that the project will be completed before the set time,” assured Mr. Pichet Uthaiwattananon, Executive Director of the Bureau of Engineering of Pattaya.

The Pattaya hospital is located on Soi Buakhao, next to the Pattaya Public Health Office. Those interested in the progress of the hospital’s construction can check the web site:http://pattayahospitalproject.blogspot.com/.
