Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started!

Post by Duncan »

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.

It does appear that entire sections are slip slip sliding away. No surprise really.

This was what the north part of the quay (in front of the Night Market) looked like in 2006 after it collapsed.

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.

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.
