SH Crossings Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Hebei Huayuan Science and Industry Co., Ltd. (Huayuan) and Thailand’s local company SKW (Sahakarn Wisavakorn), has commenced the Na Ranong Trenchless Project in Bangkok, Thailand, under a new contract.
The Na Ranong Trenchless Project is part of a larger initiative by the Thai government to convert overhead communication cables into underground systems in the cities of Bangkok, Samut Prakan, and Nonthaburi. This conversion not only enhances the urban landscape but also strengthens network connectivity, supporting the development of the digital economy.
The project owner in Bangkok is the Bangkok Metropolitan Electricity Authority (BMEA), a subsidiary of the Bangkok Municipality. The general contractor for the project is TRC-SKW Construction Company.
Located in the bustling Sathon District, one of Bangkok’s busiest and most vibrant areas, the Na Ranong Trenchless Project involves construction in high-traffic zones such as sidewalks, intersections, and median strips. The project’s name derives from its most prominent construction site at Na Ranong, where five major roads intersect.
Scope of the Na Ranong Trenchless Engineering Project:
* Laying 2 kilometers of fiber-optic conduits using the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) method.
* Constructing 17 jacking shafts for pipe jacking operations.
* Completing approximately 1.6 kilometers of concrete pipe jacking construction (with concrete pipes having an inner diameter of 1.8 meters and a length of 3 meters per segment).
The project began in August 2019 and is scheduled for completion in June 2020.
