(April 1, 2025) \u2013 Thai and international rescue teams have intensified their efforts at the collapsed building on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road in Chatuchak, deploying four heavy-duty cranes to lift debris and facilitate the search for survivors following the recent earthquake.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt visited the site this morning (April 1, 2025) to observe the ongoing operations and offer encouragement to the rescue personnel.<\/p>\n

Governor Chadchart confirmed that the search continues relentlessly, with a focus on systematically removing layers of rubble to access deeper areas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now engaged in a more extensive excavation,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe have deployed four cranes: a 600-tonne crane, a 500-tonne crane, and two 200-tonne cranes. We are immensely grateful to the international rescue teams, whose expertise has been invaluable in planning this phase of the operation. Many of these individuals are highly skilled professionals with extensive experience in challenging environments, including the recent earthquake in Turkey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The current operational strategy involves meticulously selecting sections of the collapsed structure for removal, followed by immediate and thorough searches.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are lifting sections of debris and then conducting searches, in a continuous cycle,\u201d the Governor stated. \u201cThis morning, we are focusing on removing four specific sections. However, the process is complex, requiring the cutting of steel reinforcements and the breaking down of concrete to ensure the lifted weight remains within the cranes\u2019 capacity. Even with a 600-tonne crane, the lifting capacity is reduced as the crane\u2019s arm extends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The area targeted for today\u2019s operations is located beneath the sections of debris being lifted, which is believed to be a former emergency exit.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate that individuals may have attempted to evacuate through this route during the earthquake,\u201d Governor Chadchart explained. \u201cWe have explored alternative access points, but the lack of visible cavities has necessitated this approach of lifting the debris. While this carries inherent risks, we are committed to exhausting every possible avenue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is crucial that everyone remains calm and avoids spreading rumours, as this only adds to the pressure on the rescue teams,\u201d the Governor emphasised. \u201cWe believe that life has largely returned to normal across the city, with the exception of this specific site where we are concentrating all our resources. We remain hopeful of finding survivors.\u201d<\/p>\n
