webfact Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 MEA promises to put all power cables underground by 2021 By The Nation File photo BANGKOK: -- The governor of the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) has promised that all power cables will be underground by 2021. MEA Governor Chaiyong Puapongsakorn said the authority has installed power cables underground for 41.9 kilometres in the heart of business areas. The MEA is also in the process of moving cables underground for another 40kms and later it will relocate cables underground for another 127.3kms around the capital, which would be completed by 2021. “I believe Bangkokians want to see communication cables disappear from power poles. If possible, we will move communication cables underground with the power cables but the communication cables are not directly the responsibility of the MEA. But we will try to work it out with agencies concerned,” the governor said.

just.a.thought Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Wifi the crab out of all the big cities, that should take care of the communication cables. Then leave the power lines where they are and make it illegal to hang anything else but power lines from the poles. Is it even a good idea to burry power lines in a sinking city that is flooded on a regular basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thechook Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 4 years???? A little to ambitious and a mammoth task. Even cities around the world who have the knowledge, equipment, technology and funds couldn't complete such a task in that time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
