AP Thailand Develops Comprehensive Response Plan Following Earthquake
The property giant implements swift measures to ensure safety and building integrity after the March 28 seismic event.
In the wake of a significant earthquake that struck Thailand on March 28, 2025, AP Thailand Public Company Limited has enacted a robust crisis management strategy designed to safeguard residents and uphold building safety.
The company has rolled out a detailed 10-step approach in response to the seismic event, showcasing its commitment to comprehensive crisis management.
Within seven days post-disaster, AP Thailand convened a specialized War Room, spearheaded by senior executives including Mr. Vittakarn Chandavimol, Chief Corporate Strategy and Creation.
This command center orchestrated dual inspections across all 82 residential projects managed by AP, first executed by the internal engineering team, followed by assessments conducted by an esteemed group of external experts.
The external panel comprised notable structural specialists such as Asst. Prof. Dr. Arthit Petchsasithon from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology and Assoc.
Prof. Second Lt. Dr. Suppachai Sinthaworn from Srinakharinwirot University, along with two licensed senior civil engineers.
After meticulous evaluations, the panel provided safety certifications for each property evaluated.
In addition to structural inspections, AP Thailand initiated ongoing communication efforts through its Facebook platform and Smart World application, delivering timely updates regarding the status of residential properties.
For buildings identified as needing remediation, the company collaborated with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), the Chatuchak District Public Works Office, and the Engineering Institute of Thailand to facilitate structural repairs utilizing the specialized 'Jacketing Columns' technique.
Notably, AP Thailand's proactive measures extended beyond its portfolio of active properties, encompassing previously transferred condominiums.
Specialized teams were dispatched to assess the structural integrity of buildings regardless of current management, further demonstrating the company’s comprehensive reach.
A 24-hour call centre was established (1623) to assist residents requiring immediate help.
In adherence to BMA regulations, AP Thailand has successfully uploaded all inspection results to the official BMA system, enabling residents to confirm the safety status of their buildings via the 'Building Inspection Dashboard' accessible online.
Mr. Vittakarn emphasized the importance of transparency, communication, and speed during a crisis, stating, 'We believe that in times of crisis, speed, transparency, and clear communication are essential to building trust with our residents.' The company's actions reflect a holistic approach to crisis management, combining technical proficiency with a focus on resident well-being.
