Toany Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Very Thai. Wait until it is likely to flood any day and then prepare to set up emergency barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairieboy Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 There is a simple solution to many of these flooding problems. I have used these with great success on several projects. They are called Aqua Dams. I'm not sure why Thailand doesn't have a stock of them to protect streets, homes, businesses, etc. http://www.aquadam-europe.com/ https://www.layfieldgroup.com/Geosynthetics/Aqua-Dam-Products.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retiredandhappyhere Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Will the proposed wall be as effective as the Mae Pongphan dyke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
