Flood dyke sinking, in need of repair
February 22nd, 2007The earthen dyke preventing water from overflowing into Suvarnabhumi airport urgently needs improvement as it has subsided to a critical point, an airport construction engineer said yesterday.
Surajit Surapolchai, the expert at Airports of Thailand supervising construction at the airport, said the dyke had subsided by nearly one metre, from 3.5m high to about 2.5m, leaving Suvarnabhumi vulnerable to flooding.
Last year, the flood level outside the airport rise to about 2.20m.
“Since the dyke was built, it has subsided to a point that is now critical. It’s the time for us to pile the earth up to increase the height of the dyke,” said Mr Surajit.
International Pilots & Airlines reassure confidence for the new Bangkok airport, Suvarnabhumi
February 21st, 2007Airline managers and pilots who operate flights through Bangkok’s new airport have spoken out to reassure the public in response to serious doubts that have arisen over the safety of the 125-billion-baht airport.
They said persistent allegations, particularly from Bannawit Kengrian, chairman of the National Legislative Assembly’s committee on Suvarnabhumi airport, were groundless and had been forwarded by uninformed individuals.
About 90 international airlines that operate more than 800 flights carrying around 120,000 passengers each day through the airport. They have reportedly never questioned the airport’s safety. But critics have seeded doubt in the public mind over landing and takeoff safety issues.
