webfact Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Giant Water Tunnel can Save Ramkamhaeng District and Lad Phrao Areas The Team Group Company is confident that the giant water tunnel stationed at Phra Ram Kao Road will help Ramkamhang District survive the flood and that the even numbered Sois on Lad Prao will be safe from the runoff. Chawalit Janttararat, a water resources engineer from the Team Group Company, recommended that officials allow the floodwater to run through the Rama 2 Road and flow into the sea. If the officials attempt to retain the water, the water pressure will become stronger, which would cause the flood to cause more damage. The Team Group Company has more than 30 years experience in water management. The company has created a model known as the "River Network Model" to evaluate the direction of floodwater though risky zones and predict the direction of discharged water. Recently, they have used satellite pictures from last Saturday to evaluate the flood zones. Chawalit went on to say thay on the east side of Bangkok, the floodwater will spread from Lad Phrao to the Kannayao districts. -- Tan Network 2011-11-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Govt Urged to Put Hardest Effort to Protect The Remaining Industrial Estates The Joint Private Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking has urged the government to implement the best flood management plan, pointing out that the government's credibility would be totally tarnished if it fails to protect the remaining industrial estates. The Chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce Pongsak Assakul spoke at a meeting of the Joint Private Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking. He reported that the committee is closely monitoring the flood situation around Bang Chan Industrial Park with fears that the flood will spread into the area. The country's industrial sector has already been adversely affected, as seven key industrial estates nationwide were left stranded under the flooding. Consequently, the committee has urged the government to utterly protect the remaining estates to drive domestic trade forward. The Federation of Thai Industries, or FTI, President Payungsak Chartsutipol conceded that the damage caused by the ravaging floods still can not be estimated, as the situation is still ongoing. The private sector is being informed by government representatives about rehabilitation measures. Meanwhile, the committee has formed a special commission to help small and medium entrepreneurs affected by inundation. The FTI President added that the meeting between the Thai business sector and the Japan Business Federation will adjourn on November 28 as Commerce Minister Kittirat Na-Ranong expressed that he would like to join the meeting in order to clarify the government's rehabilitation policy and to prop up investors' confidence that the deluge would not happen again in the future. Consequently, the meeting will take place after the cabinet finalizes the rehabilitation measures. -- Tan Network 2011-11-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
