Mobile Toilet Setup for Civilized Construction Sites
Admin October 16, 2026
The setup of mobile toilets at civilized construction sites requires comprehensive consideration from four aspects: quantity allocation, facility hygiene, location layout, and management requirements. The specific standards are as follows:

I. Quantity and Allocation Standards
- Squat Position Allocation Based on Personnel Numbers: For landscape and garage construction sites, allocate one squat position per 50 people; for buildings, set up one toilet every four floors, with one room and one squat position per toilet; for basic allocation, add one squat position per 15 people, with at least three for men's toilets and two for women's toilets; for high-rise buildings exceeding eight floors, set up temporary toilets every four floors.
- Gender Ratio Refinement: For men's toilets, allocate one squat position per 15 people for fewer than 100 people, and add one squat position for every additional 30 people for more than 100 people; for women's toilets, allocate 1-2 squat positions per 15 people for fewer than 100 people, and add one squat position for every additional 30 people for more than 100 people.
II. Facility and Hygiene Requirements
- Structural Safety: The maintenance structure must use non-combustible materials (such as galvanized iron sheets filled with rock wool) to ensure fire resistance.
- Sewage Disposal and Cleaning: For landscape construction sites with access to municipal sewage networks, set up water-flush toilets with handwashing basins; for dry toilets inside buildings, assign dedicated personnel for daily cleaning; the sewage system must include odor-proof design, and some equipment should be equipped with sewage tanks for centralized disposal.
- Ventilation and Lighting: Toilet stalls must have independent compartments, toilets, flushing systems, and handwashing basins; high-end configurations can include soap dispensers and toilet paper holders; install exhaust fans inside and solar lights or emergency lighting outside.
III. Location and Layout Principles
- Construction Areas: Set up one toilet point for every 50-80 workers, close to tower cranes or material storage areas to avoid interfering with construction workflows; allocate one group (2-3 compartments) per 100 people in living areas.
- Safety Distance: Maintain a minimum distance of 3 meters between toilet points and construction machinery or temporary electrical facilities, away from foundation pit edges and slopes; select locations close to the construction site, at least 30 meters away from canteens, and away from noise and pollution sources.
- Guidance Signage: Place garage toilets in conspicuous locations or corners and set up guidance signs; post distribution maps and guidance route maps in prominent positions on elevators and floors.
- Appearance Adaptation: Choose styles that harmonize with the urban landscape; for locations near residential areas or scenic spots, adopt eco-friendly toilets decorated with green plants.
IV. Management Requirements
- Hygiene System: Establish a rotating duty system and regularly inspect its implementation; assign dedicated personnel for cleaning, flushing, and disinfecting, and regularly clean out septic tanks to prevent mosquito and fly breeding.
- Sewage Disposal: Temporary toilets must have independent water supply and drainage systems or assign dedicated personnel for regular fecal bucket cleaning.
