snoop1130 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Electricity poles removed as utilities go underground By Rachanon Intharaksa The Nation Metropolitan Electricity Authority workers started to remove electricity poles along Bangkok's Pradiphat Road on Wednesday as part of the agency's "smart metro" project to move electricity and communication wires underground. The project's first phrase will involve an eight-kilometre section from the Lat Phrao intersection to the Victory Monument. The concrete poles will be donated to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration for its coastal erosion prevention project at Bang Khun Thien.

tracker1 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I hope their not going to run the cables in the sewer pits or are they digging or tunneling under the road or footpath and just wondering what they are going to hang the street lighting off if there is no poles ?

Everyone will lose their cable TV connection as most of the wire we see up there are just cable TV wires. I'll bet PEA are only going to bury their own wires not all the freeloaders on their power poles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It always appears to me the the electric wires dangling everywhere pose quite a hazard. This has got to be an improvement. Anytime there is progress in Thailand, it is cause for celebration. Progress is a bizarre, rare, and peculiar idea here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I assume that any cables buried in BKK, of whatever kind, will be in 100% waterproof tunnels or surrounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
