Dailynews - Decemebr 12, 2005

There was a discussion between MRTA and local people of Thonburi on Blue ring Issue
at Thonburi District on Dec 8, 2006 with 100 people Attained the meeting.


There is No station in Thonburi District since the first station in Thoburi is in Bangkok Yai
.... HGowever the track myst go across chao Phraya to pass Thonburi district which
will cause many buildings to collapse .... esp the old Santa Crus catholic Church whcih
is more than 80 years old (built to replace the old one in 1913 - the oldest one can be
dated back to abotu 200 years ago durign the time of Kign Taksin the great).
Sata Crus Church has NO supportign pillars at all.


Assistant MRTA Governor Chookiat Phothiyanuat explained the local people that
MRTA would ensure that NO damage on those buildigns in Thonburi durign the construction
of Blue Ring since it wat construct 30 meter DEEP from the surface - the clay level which
is good to absorb the vibration. Ther Drill headf would have the control system to readjust the drillign pressure to be constant all the time.

Furthermore, ther will be the buildign inspection ... and they will halt the construction if there is a change on the buildigns alogn the route and they will havee to pay the compensation on the damaged buildings.


Note: Now, Many Thai netters have dug into the scandals of Former Governor Praphat .... many accused him of

1) corruptions on the purchase of the special low power fluorescense light bulbs
which require SPECIAL orders to replace every time it was burnt out and

2) incompetency on the handlign of Power Supply Design by letting the power Supply of MRT form bang kapi and Huay kwang to have Series connexction instead of Parallel connection ... so the power outage at either Bang kapi or Huay Kwang would cause power outage at Subway track ... totally UNACCEPTABLE.

To be fair, MEA is to be blame for the power outage sicne they have NOT replaced the good old transformers whcih have been comissioned for 30-40 years. Theerfore it needs frequent inspection and replacement of systems as quaterly basis (every 3 months)

3) The corruption combined with incompetency on the design of the tracks from Thailabnd cultural center to Depot whcih cause the first Subway accident in Thailand.

4) Ther was a rumour that several wrokers of subcontractors were Suffocated to Death durign the plate laying (track laying) due to the incompetency of thsoe who run power supply above by turning off ventilators so they can run the aircon withotu power outage problem.
