A pier that would act as part of the new sea defenses scheme at Naklua and would also be a new tourism attraction is currently being designed and will be unveiled for discussion next month.
Permanent secretary of Pattaya City Sittiprap Muangkoom presented details of the project on February 2, at a meeting attended by councilors from Region 1, Pichet Uthaivatanon, director of the technical office at Pattaya City Hall, and representatives of PTE Engineering and Consultants Ltd, who are undertaking the survey and design work.
PTE’s Osatee Ruangsawang said the project consists of three key elements. A reinforced concrete area of some 4,800 square meters in area would form a sea wall and provide recreational space, while a pier of 600 meters in length would be built at the mouth of the Naklua canal and serve fishermen and boat users. There would be another reinforced concrete area at the canal entrance, 3,600 meters in area.
The three designs would be finished by the end of March when the documents would be submitted to the Water Transportation Department and the Marine Department for a construction permit.
Sittiprap said the three elements of the project would each take a considerable time to build and it was desirable to complete one before beginning the next one. He suggested the reinforcements at Lanpho should be the first stage.
