This Bangkok train station is a plan first launched in the early 1980s. The Lavalin Skytrain is an early version of the Skytrain project which is based on the Vancouver SkyTrain and is using the SNC-Lavalin technology. The First plan was canceled in June 1992 because of political interference. The structure of the Train runway is an elevated road (Viaduct) placed on a single post. Which is generally built on an island in the middle of the road This elevated walkway is approximately 9 meters wide and 12 meters high above the ground. It is a piece of pre-cast concrete (Segment) assembled one column at a time.
