The Monkey Cheeks of the Wetland Area to the North of Nakhon Sawan
Client : Royal Irrigation Department Services : Feasibility Study and EIA Floods that regularly occur in the Chao Phraya River Basin have a major impact on the country’s economy. As the situation is getting worse and floods are becoming more frequent, development of the lowland on both banks of the river to serve as the catchment area for inundation is necessary. It will also be another option for water resource management. The Royal Irrigation Department has a development plan for the irrigated agricultural area and the wetland area to the north of Nakhon Sawan. TEAM GROUP was assigned to undertake the feasibility study and EIA of the catchment area – consonant with His Majesty the King’s Kaem Ling or monkey cheeks’ initiative – to the north of Nakhon Sawan to serve as a temporary catchment area and ease potential flood situations. With appropriate control and discharge of water, this water resource management scheme will benefit agricultural activity. The project’s important strategies are public relations and public participation activities which will raise awareness about the project and win support from the people.

The 8th BANGKOK WATER SUPPLY Improvement Project
Client : The Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) Administered by : TEAM Consulting Engineering and Management Co., Ltd The MWA is undertaking construction of water supply facilities under the scope of the Eighth Bangkok Water Supply Improvement Project. This addresses the production system; the water transmission system; and the water distribution system. After project implementation, the total water production capacity at the four water treatment plants – Bangkhen, Mahasawat, Samsen and Thonburi – will be upgraded to 6.32 million m³ per day. The main objective is to increase water supply production capacity at the Bangkhen Water Treatment Plant to 400,000 m³ per day and to install additional pumps and related facilities at various pump and distribution stations. Thus, the MWA will be able to extend the water supply service area by another 200 km². The additional capacity will contribute to sufficient water supply capacity up to 2017. TEAM Consulting Engineering and Management Co., Ltd. is engaging in construction supervision and bid evaluation by providing overall guidance for project implementation including pre- and post-qualification of contractors, evaluation of bids, recommendation for contract awards etc.
Metropolitan Water Productivity Enhancement
Client : Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) Services : Construction Supervision To meet the ever-increasing demand for water supply and water services in Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan, the MWA decided to expand its productivity and transmission tunnel network. TEAM GROUP has been involved in the development of Maha Sawat Water Treatment Plant in Nonthaburi since 1995 and was entrusted, in 2009, with the design of phase 4 and its accompanying transmission conduit. A scheme to increase its productivity was divided into eight phases, each of which was planned to increase daily production capacity by 400,000 cu.m. Upon its completion of phase 4, the plant will be able to produce 1.6 million cu.m./day of water for Bangkok’s Thon Buri side and for Nonthaburi. When all eight phases are finished in 2017, the total production capacity will amount to 3.2 million cu.m./day. TEAM GROUP also supervised the installation of 300 cu.m./minute pump engines at the Pumping Station 3, Bang Khen Water Treatment Plant, a large water plant with a water production capacity of 3.6 million cu.m./day supplying most areas of Bangkok. The installation will enhance the MWA’s water productivity and distribution and help it to meet increasing demand. In the eastern area of Bangkok, we designed and supervised the construction of a 3,200 mm-diameter transmission tunnel from the Highway No. 351 Intersection, running beneath Kanchanaphisek (East portion) Road, to merge with the existing tunnel around Thap Chang Intersection. Water will be distributed through this 13-km long tunnel to those communities which currently rely on groundwater, a cause of land subsidence. The tunnel will also increase water supply for the Lat Krabang and Bang Phli pumping stations and so help to accommodate growth in industrial zones in the vicinity of Suvarnabhumi Airport.
