MRTA completes demolition of Samsen Police Station, continues road restoration and safety checks
The MRTA has completed demolishing Samsen Police Station as part of the Purple Line project and is now restoring the area and monitoring ground safety.
The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) announced on Tuesday that contractors for the Purple Line Extension Project (Tao Poon-Rat Burana section) have completed the demolition of the Samsen Police Station building, marking key progress in repairing the subsidence along Samsen Road.
The MRTA said that work is now underway to drill and inspect soil conditions, improve soil quality, and monitor ground subsidence around the affected area. Continuous groundwater level measurements are also being conducted to ensure construction safety and compliance with engineering standards.
Contractors are also constructing a temporary access ramp beside the Dipangkorn Rasmijoti Building at Vajira Hospital, while the permanent road restoration will follow the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s Department of Public Works standards and design guidelines.
To minimise disturbance, all noisy night-time activities have been suspended, and the project continues to inspect nearby police housing flats and surrounding buildings to ensure maximum safety.
The MRTA reaffirmed its commitment to speeding up the restoration of the road surface while maintaining strict safety and quality control throughout the ongoing construction process.
