Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

The 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.

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.
