No problem with holes in Suvarnabhumi Airport’s roof

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Three holes in Suvarnabhumi Airport’s roof will not delay the September 28 opening, said airport General Manager Somchai Sawasdeepon.

“We are working hard to fix the holes and it is not a big problem. The problem can be solved by filling the leaks with silicone. So far, leaks in concourses A and B have been sealed. The remaining leaks will be sealed before September 25,” said Somchai.

The holes were caused during heavy rainfall Sunday night. A number of leaks in the main passenger terminal and all concourses have also been discovered due to poorly sealed mirrors.
