Toilet Mobile Renovation

"Toilet Mobile Renovation" mainly involves two scenarios: the renovation of mobile toilets and the relocation and renovation of toilets in fixed restrooms. Details are as follows:

Renovation of Mobile Toilets

Mobile toilets are sanitation facilities that can be moved as a whole and placed at fixed or temporary locations as needed. Their renovation typically includes upgrading both the appearance and internal facilities. For example, seven mobile public toilets on Shiji Avenue at Weifang Road and Zhangyang Road at Miaopu Road have undergone renovations to refresh their appearance, adopting soft color bases such as light beige and light brown with dark blue borders to enhance aesthetics. Additionally, third restrooms and "sanitation stations" have been added, equipped with facilities such as refrigerators, showers, and microwaves, improving practicality. This renovation approach not only enhances the user experience but also elevates the overall image of urban public facilities.

Relocation and Renovation of Toilets in Fixed Restrooms

Toilet relocation refers to the operation of changing the original installation position of a toilet. Common methods include the following:

• Relocator Method: Suitable for short-distance adjustments (10-30 cm, not exceeding 40 cm). Its advantages include minimal modification and low cost, but it may affect flushing performance and increase the risk of blockage.
• Floor Elevation Method: By constructing a base platform 180-200 mm high to embed the sewage pipe, this method is suitable for long-distance relocation and offers layout flexibility. However, it raises the floor level, potentially affecting space utilization.
• Wall-Drain or Re-Drilling Method: This involves changing from a floor drain to a wall drain, with the pipe running along the wall, eliminating the need to elevate the floor and allowing for easy concealment. However, it requires consent from the downstairs occupants and redoing waterproofing, making construction more challenging.
• Same-Floor Drainage Relocation: For sunken bathroom structures, pipes can be directly laid within the lowered floor layer with fewer restrictions, making it an ideal relocation method.

Before relocation, it is essential to assess the drainage method (same-floor/inter-floor drainage), relocation distance, and construction conditions, paying attention to the slope, sealing, and waterproofing of the drainage pipes. Improper operation may lead to blockages or neighbor disputes, so it is advisable to have professional personnel carry out the construction to ensure safety and reliability.
