Estate operators erect flood dykes against future deluges-HESCO
Rojana Industrial Park Plc with one estate in Ayutthaya will spend 2 billion baht to erect a 67-kilometre dyke, while Nava Nakorn Plc in Pathum Thani plans has earmarked 600 million baht for a 20-km barrier around its industrial promotion zone in Pathum Thani.
In a bid to speed up the pumping of water, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, PTT Plc and private energy firms have jointly built 140 water drainage systems, each one comprising a water pump,钢格板, tank and pipeline.
Rojana finally dried out on Wednesday, and all of its 240 factories will resume operations next month.
Funding will be via soft loans at 0.1% interest from the state-owned Government Savings Bank under the government’s 15-billion-baht aid programme for flood-affected industrial estate operators.
Prior to the start of draining, microorganisms were introduced to help clean up the water, Gen Chainarong added.
