I am in Udon Thani, First Home. The end of my driveway closest to the street had been acting strange - separating from the earth under it and developing a hollow underneath for about 10 years. A couple of month ago "it" happened . Part of the driveway broke off, and now there is a large hole (I don't know how deep). What is needed is removal of that section of the driveway, clean-up and replacement. The gardener was eager to make the repair, but I would like this to last a long time.
I am looking for somebody who can clean up the mess and make it like it was supposed to be in the first place.
Does anybody have any recent experience with such a contractor? My girlfriend is around, so the contractor need not be able to deal in English.
I need part of my concrete driveway replaced.

Looks like a drain cover.
Only about 50mm thick at best and no reinforcing steel.....just observation that might help in future.

Looks like lots of concrete that has been laid with out a decent base
Water gets in and washes away the base
Plenty of roads around just like it
Who every does the repair needs to put start bars/rods into the adjoining concrete
after filling in the hole with "hin" ie stoney fill

Re: I need part of my concrete driveway replaced.
You're right. The very road that leads up to this one has the same kinds of problems.
Does anybody have a contact number for a company that sells concrete (the kind comes premixed in a concrete truck)?

There’s a big one in Ban Lueam, maybe head office.
081 495 5187
Depending on where you are you might be better going to a local depot. Just stick CPAC into Google maps & it’ll show where they are.
I’d think about some drainage first so the base doesn’t get washed away again. Maybe a length of 4” blue pipe would do?
