Belton Technology Co., Ltd. Flood Defense Project

Feasibility Study and Detailed Design of the Flood Protection System of Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Plant in Navanakorn Industrial Estate, Pathumthani province.

Ten Consultants Co., Ltd. was appointed by Belton Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct the Feasibility Study and Detailed Design of Flood Protection System for the factory. The site is situated in Navanakorn Industrial Estate, Rangsit, Pathumthani province.

     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.

With the experience of factory operators, simple earth berm or above ground reinforce concrete wall over the height of water depth could not protect the flood. Water pressure penetrates through the soft soil under the earth berm or R/C wall and burst inside the wall boundary resulting the wall failure and flooding over.

By the study of subsoil strata and design of soil cement column underground wall as well as above ground R/C wall was implemented. The construction cost of the project was 54 Millions Baht for the linear length of factory boundary of 640 meters. On situ test of underground wall water tightness had been conducted and certified to wellness result.
