forcebwithu Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The drainage project and beach pics after the early morning storms. Surprised they still haven't cleaned out the sand from the north end catch basin. The longer they wait, the more the sand will get washed farther into the drains and the harder it will be to clean it out. Beach is still in good shape. The usual spots prone to flooding and beach washouts look none the worse after this morning's storms. Probably more to do with lack of heavy rain than the new drains doing their job. The new structure at the south end is for drainage diversion gates. Further proof this morning's rainfall wasn't much as only one of the three overflow pipes was discharging effluent. A peek inside the pumping station. Not sure what function this machinery serves. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycoll Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Presumably after all the construction is finished they will go back to no parking on the beach side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Beach Rd drain update from this morning. North end they're now working on the opposite side of the road, tying the existing drains to the new drain. North end is getting new paving stones. Good to see the beach open again. Farther south noticed mostly Thais enjoying the beach. Beach chairs practicing social distancing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little over a month ago I noticed they were digging in a couple of spots. Thought at the time it might have been just work on the existing drains in a couple of places, but maybe it was exploratory drilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
