PCC Development and Construction Co has promised it will complete the construction of 396 police stations on time after the national police office extended its contract for another month.

Pol Lt Santhana Prayoonrat, a personal adviser to Pibul Udomsitthikul, the company chairman, gave the vow yesterday.

Earlier, he asked the Royal Thai Police Office (RTPO) to add an addendum to the contract to allow the company to hire sub-contractors to help with the construction.

D1: note the PCC Chairman's adviser is a Police Lt.

This promise is just laughable. Not one has been handed over until now. To just do the handover, let alone the work required to get to the point of handover, means the company has to conduct 396 separate defects inspections all over the country, get the defects remedied and accepted by the client and a written Certificate of Completion - that's just over 13 stations every day for the next month. Keep in mind Songkran takes up the last week of this 30 day period.

Do PCC even have the supervisors needed, let alone the thousands of skilled workers they would need?

They're not afraid of a 6 million Baht daily fine as, it is rumored,
the contractor is broke. 396 police stations in 1, ( one ), month ?
Maybe the workers should be relieved of their I.D cards/passports and chained to their work post
