Renovation Case of Old Mobile Toilets

For renovation cases of old mobile toilets, you can refer to the public toilet renovation project at No. 66 Chongqing Street, Huancui District.

Renovation Background and Basic Conditions
This public toilet was originally an old-fashioned dry latrine built in the 1970s. Due to long-term neglect, its sanitary conditions were extremely poor, with significant fecal accumulation issues, making it unable to meet basic usage needs. Before renovation, its structure was aging, its functions were limited, and there was a risk of environmental pollution, necessitating a systematic renovation to enhance its usability and sanitary standards.

Core Renovation Measures

1. Modular Steel Structure Design: Utilizing modular steel structure technology, the public toilet that had completed its service on Dashijie Pedestrian Street was relocated in its entirety to No. 66 Chongqing Street for reassembly. This approach avoided the cumbersome process of traditional reconstruction, significantly shortened the construction period, and reduced material waste and construction debris generation.
2. Construction Period Optimization: Despite limitations in labor and materials during the COVID-19 pandemic, by optimizing the construction process and resource allocation, the originally planned 25-day construction period was shortened to 15 days, and the toilet was put into use ahead of schedule on March 10th, demonstrating efficient execution capabilities.

Functional Upgrades and Humanized Configurations
The renovated public toilet breaks away from traditional designs, achieving multi-dimensional functional enhancements:

• Optimized Spatial Layout: It includes a men's urinal area, three gender-neutral toilet stalls, and a third toilet, catering to the needs of different genders and special groups, and avoiding queues during peak hours.
• Improved Accessibility Facilities: Baby care stations, accessible toilets, and washbasins have been added, providing convenience for disabled individuals and families with infants, reflecting social care.
• Introduction of Smart Services: A QR code-based paper towel dispenser is installed at the entrance, enhancing the efficiency of hygiene product supply through digital means and reducing resource waste.

Renovation Significance and Demonstration Value
This project provides a replicable solution for the renovation of old public toilets through the “old toilet relocation + functional upgrade” model. Its core advantages lie in cost control (utilizing existing facilities to reduce new construction investment), short cycle (modular construction enhancing efficiency), and comprehensive functionality (covering diverse population needs). Such renovations not only improve public sanitary environments but also enhance urban civilization through humanized design, offering practical references for similar projects.
