Sky train project in Vientiane
Permalink   

Wow! read this on the kpl website:
http://www.kpl.net.la/francias/news/fdn3.htm

Autorities just launched the project for building a japanese SkyTrain in Vientiane!!!

Signature d’un accord sur le projet de Sky Train à Vientiane
Vientiane,
(KPL) - La signature d’un mémorandum d’entente (MOU) portant sur le
projet de construction d’un Sky Train (métro aérien) à Vientiane, a eu
lieu récemment dans la capitale laotienne, entre M. Phetsamone signature-f.gifVilaphanh,
chef adjoint du département du plan et de coopération du ministère des
Travaux publics et des Transports, et M. Adrew Khor Poh kiang,
représentant du groupe d’entreprises japonaises Flagship Maglev (FSG)
auprès de l’Asie du sud-est, en présence de M. Sithong Thonkèo,
vice-ministre dudit Ministère, et de M. Bounchanh Sinlavong, adjoint au
maire de Vientiane, a fait savoir le quotidien laotien sur les affaires.

Selon le contrat BOT (construction, opération et transfert), FSG
investira 100% dans la concession de ce projet. On a prévu une
prospection du lieu de construction de 6 à 12 mois, un chantier de 4
ans et la mise en service officielle l’année suivante. D’après les
prévisions, 51 kilomètres de voies ferrées seront posées et 6 gares
construites entre le pont de l’Amitié Vientiane – Nong Khai et le
marché de Nong Chanh – l’aéroport international Wattay – Thong Pong –
l’Université nationale Dong Dok – le stade national au Km18 et
l’Université nationale Dong Dok et centre Ville.

En ce qui concerne la technologie, FSG utilisera des machines dernier
cri appelées « Technologie du 21e siècle » qui permettront aux wagons
de circuler automatiquement sur les lignes aériennes grâce au champ
magnétique, comme en lévitation. Cette technologie est actuellement
déjà utilisée à Nagoya, Japon. En outre, avec cette même technique, le
Japon et la République de Corée ont également signé un contrat de
coopération dans la construction du chemin de fer sous l’océan d’une
longueur de plus de 500 Kms reliant le Japon et la R. de Corée à Pusan.

Selon FSG, le coût de la construction s’élèvera autour de 300 - 400
millions de dollars américains. Une fois ce projet abouti, FSG désire
faire l’ambitieuse concession, sous forme BOT toujours, d’un Sky Train
qui relierait les pays de l’Asean entre eux et dont le Laos serrait le
centre.

Le point le plus positif du réseau ferroviaire magnétique est que son
système est conforme à l’utilisation urbaine car la roue évolue à 10 cm
de la voie et comme il n’y a pas de frottement, le train est
parfaitement silencieux, ce qui est idéal question environnement
sonore.

english translation by google:
Signature of an agreement on the draft Sky Train in Vientiane
Vientiane
(KPL) - The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the
proposed construction of a Sky Train (elevated railway) in Vientiane,
was held recently in the Lao capital, between Mr. Phetsamone  Vilaphanh, Deputy
Head of Department of Planning and Cooperation of the Ministry of
Public Works and Transport, and Mr. Adrew Khor Poh Kiang, representing
the group of Japanese companies Flagship Maglev (FSG) to the south-east
Asia, in the presence of Mr. Sithong Thonkèo, vice-minister of
Ministry, and Mr. Bounchanh Sinlavong, deputy mayor of Vientiane,
reported the newspaper Lao on business.
According to the contract BOT (build, operation and transfer), FSG will invest 100% in the concession of this project. It provides a survey of construction instead of 6 to 12 months, a site
of 4 years and the official entry into service the following year. According to
estimates, 51 km of railways will be laid and 6 stations built between
the Friendship Bridge Vientiane - Nong Khai and Nong Chanh market -
Wattay International Airport - Thong Pong - the National University
Dong Dok - The national stadium at Km18 and the National University and
Dong Dok city center.
Regarding
technology, FSG will use the latest machines called "Technology of the
21st century" that will allow cars to move automatically airlines
through the magnetic field, as levitation. Cette technologie est actuellement déjà utilisée à Nagoya, Japon. This technology is already being used in Nagoya, Japan. En
outre, avec cette même technique, le Japon et la République de Corée
ont également signé un contrat de coopération dans la construction du
chemin de fer sous l’océan d’une longueur de plus de 500 Kms reliant le
Japon et la R. In addition, with this same technique, Japan and
the Republic of Korea also signed a cooperation contract in the
construction of the railway under the ocean with a length of over 500
kms between Japan and R. de Corée à Pusan. of Korea in Pusan.
According FSG, the construction cost will amount to around 300 - 400 million U.S. dollars. Once this project
successful, FSG wishes to make the ambitious concession, as always BOT,
a Sky Train linking the countries of Asean among themselves and with
Laos shook the center.
The most positive magnetic rail network is that its system complies
with urban use because the wheel moving at 10 cm from the road and
there is no friction, the train is perfectly silent, which is ideal
sound environment issue.

exiting, isn't it? but when a such project can become real? in 20 years?

Cambodia will have a plan to build sky train too.

I am happy, but not quite understand the need to have sky train in Laos. It will destroy the view of Vientiane !

Maybe it is cheaper ! because there are many artifacts underground, and it may take a lot of time to build the underground stations.

underground in Laos? I guess it would be flooded every year! and sooooo expensive!!!!

anyway, a sky train could be good for city transportation, like Vientiane, but i'm not sure it can match thenned for national transportation. The train have to be able to carry passengers but also goods (into containers)... traditional railway seems to be better for that.

But skytrain in VT, if the ticket is not too expensive, that's clearly a great great project!!!

Sky train is needed for Vientiane City, if Vientiane population is at least 1 million
people. It is not suitable for business with couple hundred thousand people in
small city like Vientiane.

At this moment, I don't think Laos is ready for sky train project.  The city of Vientaine doesnt really have the need for it.  I think the Department of Transportation or Department of Public Works needs to concentrate on building express ways, sanitary sewer treatment plants, and water treatment plants.  At this moment, most of Laos sanitary system is septic tank.  As one can imagine, all those septic tanks leakage will contaminate the groundwater.

So, let's not get ahead of ourself here. Let's go those issues taking care of first.  The sky train can come in at later time.

This is just my two cents!!

During the few last years, Vientiane discovered what is trafic jams... because more and more lao people can buy big cars and use it for everything : only one person driving an empty big pick-up In the center of the city, this is stupid and generade trafic jams and pollutions (and accident too, because many people "buy" their licence). And the situation worsen every year!

At rush hour, Vientiane is not peacefull any more! Not the wonderfull city i did know.

I think lao people have to learn to use public transport to go into and around the center city, this would avoid many problems. But for that, Vientiane needs good, efficient, comfortable and cheap public transport.

Today, to go from the bridge to center city by bus, you need about 45 minutes (for 20 km only) . The buses are always overcrowded. So there is a real need for a new solution. Skytrain, tramway, or anything else... but something new and more efficient. Moreover, with the new train station and the future development of the "chinese area" (that luang marsh or land near dongphosy), this problem will strongly streghten in the next years

Same for Road 13. The city is expanding a lot along this strategic road (universitu, stadium, future airport). So there is also a need for a very efficient public transport system along this road.

But i think sky train should be used only along strategic axis... 2 or 3 lines max, because it's complex and big investment. For pure center city or smaller axis, bus or tramway is probably better.
