Re: Water Shortages in PP

@Pompedup are you at liberty to discuss/inform us of any future upgrades to the water supply in the city or is your work here done? Bakheng 1 just started production (200 000 m3/day), Bakheng 2 (same capacity) will start by the end of this year. We started the study for another stage of same capaci...

Re: Water Shortages in PP

Why the water shortage? Please refer to my previous post on the subject (p3 of this thread) And why does it take so long to build a treatment plant when condos are built in under a year or two? Short answer: because water production & transmission is slightly more complex than a condo Long answ...

Re: Water Shortages in PP

Next Question. Is a '' pig '' put through the line to help clear residue like mud stuck to the walls of the pipe ? That's an excellent question. Yes, it would do the job, but we are not equipped for that. Pigs require entry and exit "stations", which are simple for small diameters (like i...

Re: Water Shortages in PP

This video deals with entirely different works. These cofferdams are used for local, heavy works (e.g. bridge pile) that can take months or years to complete. For example, we are currently building a water intake in the Mekong River using a fully watertight cofferdam. In such cases, it makes sense t...

Re: Water Shortages in PP

That's it! The Bakheng Water Treatment Plant has been gradually connected to the network. Since this morning, it has been running at almost full capacity, adding 200 000 m3/day - or almost 30% - to the city's water supply. Over the past few days we gradually connected the pipelines shown on this map...

Re: Water Shortages in PP

Some information about the current situation and water shortage, which I hope most of you will find useful: 1- Unlike what I read in sope posts, there is no lack of raw water. PPWSA uses water from the Mekong, Sap & Bassac rivers which are at their normal levels for this time of the year. Due to...

Re: Frenchman PATRICK MERCIER Asks Immigration to Send Him Home



A video shot a couple years ago in which he was acting as a tuk-tuk driver
I bumped into him once or twice. Interesting character. Impressive knowledge in contemporary literature.

Re: Sam Rainsy blocked boarding plane in Paris

Probably the 6:15PM flight to Amsterdam which is an AF flight, and the photo was posted on arrival
Makes sense now
Of course this drama queen knows there's no way he will go any further...

Re: Sam Rainsy blocked boarding plane in Paris

That would be the most logical option except there is no need to go through 2F to get to 2E A while ago I remember the check-in of the AF flight to Bangkok was in 2F, then one had to walk to 2E, but that's no longer the case. And even then, there was no point entering the 2F boarding hall (which is ...

Re: Sam Rainsy blocked boarding plane in Paris

Good point, that would be around 5:30-6PM in France But the photo in the 2F boarding hall at the beginning of the video, and the second photo boarding the plane at 8:05 PM, were definitely shot a bit later. Still doesn't make much sense to me as apart from a connection in Amsterdam for a KLM flight,...
