From the big flooding over Central Region of Thailand in the year 2011, there were 7 industrial estates been flooded to the level of water height up to 2.5-4.0 meters. The disaster created enormous damage to all the factories in these 7 estates. Flood protection system is necessary for key organizations in the risk area such as power plant in order to prevent the enormous impact. Ratchaburi World Cogeneration Company Limited generates electricity and steam in Thailand. The company operates two SPP cogeneration projects with capacity of 112 megawatts each. Ratchaburi World Cogeneration Company Limited is based in Potharam district, Ratchaburi province, Thailand.Ratchaburi World Cogeneration
TEN was appointed by Ratchaburi World Cogeneration Co., Ltd. conducted the Feasibility Study and Detailed Design of Flood Protection System for power plant. TEN recommendation was underground soil cement column wall diameter of 0.60 meter 6.00 meters depth all plant perimeter of 1,300 meters under existing ground level can resist of underground water seepage. For the above existing ground concrete wall protect lateral load of water level up to +6.50m. (MSL) was adopted. Provision of drainage system (Sub- drain) was designed to reduce the pressure of the water table (Uplift pressure) and drained all the seepage underground water out of the plant.
