Representatives from the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) visited the area to inspect the Pink Line extension and the Purple Line project.
Mr. Witthaya Panmongkol, Deputy Governor (Operations) and Acting Governor of MRTA, along with Mr. Kittikorn Tanpao, Deputy Governor (Engineering and Construction), also Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, conducted inspections to ensure safety measures were in place during the construction of these mass rapid transit projects. The visit focused on examining safety measures, traffic management, and environmental impact mitigation strategies for the electric train projects. This aspect of oversight aligns with the priorities set by Mr. Suriya Juangroongruangkit, Minister of Transport, and Mr. Suraphong Piyachote, Deputy Minister of Transport.
Specifically, the inspection included the MT01 Muang Thong Thani station construction area of the Pink Line Extension Project, Si Rat - Muang Thong Thani Station section, to address concerns regarding incidents such as liquid cement falling onto vehicles on the road. Measures implemented by the concessionaire included the installation of double layers of protection netting and concrete tarpaulins, as well as the deployment of lookouts and emergency teams during construction activities.
Additionally, the inspection covered the elevated runway structure construction area of the Purple Line Project, particularly the Rat Burana Station Phra Pradaeng Station Industrial Ring Road section, focusing on safety measures at heights, including the installation of crane leg pads, fall protection rails, and stable scaffolding structures.
Mr. Witthaya emphasized the importance of adhering to construction standards and safety regulations, urging consulting companies and contractors to prioritize quality control, proper training, and supervision of workers to ensure compliance with safety standards and contractual obligations. He underscored that incidents impacting safety could erode public confidence in these large-scale construction projects, which span public roads.
Following the site visits, Mr. Witthaya stressed the need for robust traffic management, particularly for the Pink Line MRT Extension Project, recommending measures to enhance visibility and safety for road users, especially at night. He also inquired about safety protocols, including the Permit to Work system and accident reporting procedures, in the Purple Line MRT project, emphasizing the importance of standardization and cooperation among all stakeholders.
The MRTA maintains rigorous supervision and monitoring of safety measures throughout the construction of mass rapid transit projects under its purview. Committees comprising executives and oversight personnel from MRTA, consulting firms, and concessionaire companies ensure comprehensive oversight and evaluation of safety performance at every stage of construction. Moreover, monthly inspections by specialized teams, including project staff and safety officers, further reinforce adherence to safety and environmental standards.
To disseminate project updates and enhance public confidence in construction supervision standards, the MRTA encourages the public to stay informed through its official channels, including the MRTA website, Facebook pages dedicated to specific projects, and the MRTA Call Center.
