Suvarnabhumi Airports of Thailand
Sound-proof house for people living near Suvarnabhumi Airport
Monday, March 19th, 2007A design for a sound-proof house for people living near Suvarnabhumi airport has earned three Rangsit University (RSU) students an architecture award. They say their design would keep out 60% of the noise. The winners are Pichaya Prasertwong, Jaruek Taweesri-amnuay and Intat Wejsan from RSU’s architecture faculty.
They beat 37 other teams in a contest for a sound-proofed house organised by King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Lat Krabang (KMITL).
The winning design has double-glazed walls which serve the double purpose of plane-viewing pleasure and a noise barrier.
It also incorporates the latest noise reduction technology employed at stations used by Japan’s Shinkansen high-speed bullet trains.
Airport of Thailand estimates B120 billion for noise compensation
Thursday, March 15th, 2007Airports of Thailand will need government money to buy out residents withering under the onslaught of aircraft noise from nearby Suvarnabhumi airport, with total compensation payments estimated at 121.5 billion baht.
The company has completed its estimates of compensation for owners of property to the north and south of the eastern and western runways, an Airports of Thailand (AOT) source said yesterday.
About one billion baht will be offered to schools, hospitals, government agencies and public places around the new Bangkok airport.
The rest will go to owners of private property suffering from the noise.
Meeting will be held to follow up problems at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007The Ministry of Transport decides to hold talks on problems of the Suvarnabhumi Airport every two weeks after the renovation of impaired runways and taxiways has shown little progress.
Deputy Minister of Transport Sansern Wongcha-um says the renovation of the runways and taxiways is the most urgent issue of the new Bangkok airport. Other problems to be discussed during the meeting every fortnight concern the passenger building, cargoes, and internal logistic system.
Ministry’s meeting with the Airports of Thailand (AOT) on March 14th will focus on accelerating amendments to the investment plan of the Suvarnabhumi Airport. As for residents affected by aircraft’s noise, the National Economic and Social Development Board has approved a budget of 390 million baht to compensate them.
