Canal construction complete
I don't know if Takhmau have had their big celebration ceremony yet for the completion of the concrete work they did on the big canal, but this job reminds me of the job they did on the riverside in PP several years ago.

Re: Canal construction complete
It does appear that entire sections are slip slip sliding away. No surprise really.
My apologies to Paul Simon.

This was what the north part of the quay (in front of the Night Market) looked like in 2006 after it collapsed.Duncan wrote:I don't know if Takhmau have had their big celebration ceremony yet for the completion of the concrete work they did on the big canal, but this job reminds me of the job they did on the riverside in PP several years ago.
But by 2010 it looked like this:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

In JB's pic #2, interesting to see the other side of the river from 10 years ago.

Re: Canal construction complete
Here is the repair work being carried out on the original [ first ] part that collapsed.
Here is another section about 50 m further up the canal
Another section downstream from the first on and the opposite side where I'm standing is also on it's way down.

Re: Canal construction complete
That exactly what happened in Phnom Penh on the riverside, and it looked so strong too. The incompetance is dazzling, it's like some kind of joke.

Your putting it very lightly.,,,, I would say it's bordering on stupidity , cost cutting, neglect , bad engineering and just bad workmanship.
