Chiang Mai rushes to remove debris to allow water to flow through

Chiang Mai mobilizes personnel and machinery to quickly remove debris stuck to the piers of the Ban Tho Bridge, allowing water to flow easily and preventing water from overflowing the banks.

Mr. Nirun Phongsitthaworn, Governor of Chiang Mai Province, along with the Permanent Secretary of Chiang Mai Province, the Chief of the Chiang Mai Provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, the District Chief of Mueang Chiang Mai, and relevant government agencies jointly visited the area to monitor the operation to remove obstacles in the waterways at the Nawamintharathirat Bridge or Ban Tho Bridge, which is a bridge across the Ping River in Village 6, San Phisuea Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai Province, to increase the efficiency of water drainage and prevent water from overflowing the banks. The Governor of Chiang Mai Province emphasized that all agencies should help take care of water sources and bridges across rivers and canals in their areas of responsibility to keep them clean, and to dredge and remove debris that remains to prevent it from obstructing the flow of water so that the water can flow smoothly. Because during the rainy season, water will carry debris, including logs and branches from higher areas down to the river and accumulate on the banks or bridge piers. If a large amount of water is pushed against it, it may damage the bridge structure and cause the water to rise up until it overflows the banks. Therefore, it is necessary to help remove as much as possible. Today, Chiang Mai Province We have integrated personnel from relevant agencies, including the Chiang Mai Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, San Phisuea Subdistrict Municipality, Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organization, volunteers, volunteers, and military personnel from the 33rd Military Circle to jointly remove debris, pieces of wood, and branches stuck around the piers of the Ban Tho Bridge from the area. Initially, we used ropes to tie the debris to the clumps and use a backhoe to pull them up onto the ground. However, because the debris was large and heavy, and the river was flowing fast, the ropes broke and the debris could not be pulled out. There was also a risk to the workers. Therefore, we have adjusted our methods of operation. This afternoon, we will coordinate with the Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organization to bring a large-armed backhoe and machinery with large slings to slowly pull out the debris instead.
