The finish does not inspire confidence. I’ve yet to see any road/pavement works in Thailand, where they use a diamond saw to form a clean, straight edge. The joint between old and new is where it invariably breaks apart first, yet they continue to use shite working practices. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It's been six days since I last checked in on the Easy R-Con open sewer project status. First thing I noticed is they added another concrete box on the Buakhao end. Looks like the addition is where the shutoff valves will reside. And a good guess is this section of pipe will be going here. Other end of the box they're working on the support framework for the sewer grates.

forcebwithu Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Reported yesterday on social media a truck backed into a hole on Klang. Pics of the site from this afternoon, truck has been rescued. Edited to add: Just noticed this is a different truck and a different part of Klang than where the truck fell into the hole yesterday. And as long as I was in the area, here's a few more of the underground cable work on Klang. In the pic below you can just make out the hole they drilled through the sand to pull the conduit through. Seems to me that will also make a good path for rain water, and if so I wouldn't be surprised if there is erosion of the subsurface and subsequent collapse of the road above. Whereas on 2nd Rd they're digging a trench, laying down concrete raceways and filling with concrete. Edited July 7, 2019 by forcebwithu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just returned from having a drink and bite to eat at the R-Con Bar and noticed the Y pipe was in pieces now. Can't say I'm surprised as I thought when I snapped the pic below yesterday that it was doubtful the Y pipe was going to line up with the holes in the concrete. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee here for an hour or so. A good viewpoint in the afternoon for motorcycle pictures, providing it is bright but no strong direct sunlight. If there is strong sunshine, one is shooting into the sun which is no good. Another place is the Sports bar opposite Pook Complex (the one with the aeroplane above). From that location one is not shooting directly into the sun, but in bright sunshine there is a shadow of handlebars on the body of the rider. Care also needed at both locations to make sure that the scene and background are consistently lit, otherwise burnt out highlights and black shadows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Someone must have brought the hammer down on the guys working on the Easy R-Con open sewer project. They were working well into the night last night. The Y pipe seemed to be the focus of their attention. When I saw them cutting a pipe fitting in half they had made a couple of days ago, thought this can't be good. And today we see the results of last night's work. Note all the welded sections they needed to get the Y pipe to connect to the shutoff valves. Concrete road has been poured on the sides of the box. Building on the northside is getting a new step. I hadn't noticed the project sign before until a BM pointed it out. I ran it through Google translate and this is what the app spit out as a translation.

forcebwithu Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 For today's Easy R-Con open sewer project update found them working on where the pumps will eventually be installed. And on the other end we have this. Live here any amount of time and you soon learn this is normal Thai construction method. Build it, then break it apart b/c they didn't plan ahead for whatever needs to hook up, or get installed. On a side note. As a bicycle rider, I wish they wouldn't install sewer grates parallel to the direction of travel. These will be ok for mtn bike tires, but when I'm on my road bike with skinny tires they're a trap for the tire. I'm now thinking this pump system is to help push more of the flood water into the drainage system. If that's the case then I'm left wondering how they'll keep the flood water from flowing back into the concrete sump via the large diameter concrete outflow pipe.

forcebwithu Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Did a double take when I saw these guys. Acoustic leak detection maybe? Enlarging the the storm water drains on the north end of Beach Rd. Read on another forum plans are afoot to dig up the length of Beach Rd, again, and install larger storm water drains. Wat footpath and gutter on Pattaya Tai getting a cleaning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 A few pics of the Easy R-Con open sewer project from late yesterday. Forms and rebar going in for the concrete pad to join the box with Soi Buakhao. What will be interesting to see is how they'll match up the other side of the box to the existing road surface. The part they ripped up earlier in the week is now being reconstructed. Size and shape of the forms looks the same to what was there before, so no idea why they started over on this section of the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
