Construction of Mobile Toilets
The construction of mobile toilets features the absence of complex civil engineering, flexible site selection, short construction periods, intelligent operation and maintenance, and a good hygiene experience, among other characteristics. Additionally, they come in diverse materials and structures and are designed following specific principles.
No Complex Civil Engineering: The construction of mobile toilets does not require digging septic tanks or conducting complex civil engineering projects. The installation process is akin to building with building blocks, completed through the splicing and fixation of columns, with each buckle fitting snugly. This greatly simplifies the construction process and reduces construction difficulty.
Flexible Site Selection: The site selection of traditional public toilets is limited by municipal pipelines and the costs of water supply and drainage renovations, making construction difficult in areas without pipelines, such as scenic spots and mountainous regions. Mobile toilets, especially prefabricated public toilets, employ waterless flushing microbial degradation technology, eliminating the need for laying sewage pipelines and significantly enhancing site selection flexibility. In the core areas of scenic spots, installation can be completed with just hardened ground, reducing the construction period from the traditional three months to one week.
Short Construction Period: Taking the products of a well-known enterprise as an example, during installation in scenic spots, a crane can complete the main body hoisting in half a day, greatly reducing land and infrastructure costs and improving construction efficiency.
Intelligent Operation and Maintenance: The new generation of prefabricated public toilets is equipped with intelligent systems that monitor the flow of people, energy consumption data, and the activity status of microbial degradation tanks in real-time through 5G IoT technology. When ammonia concentration exceeds the standard, the system automatically triggers the投放 (addition) of bacterial strains and deodorization mechanisms; when equipment fails, the backend sends alerts within 30 minutes. Public toilet administrators can complete remote inspections through a mobile app, reducing labor costs by about 70%, saving over 3,000 tons of water annually, and reducing energy consumption by over 30%, achieving “unmanned and low-carbon” operation and maintenance.
Good Hygiene Experience: Prefabricated public toilets achieve the goal of “three nos”: no water flushing, no odors, and no pollution. The squat toilets use gravity sensing to open and close, with excreta directly entering the degradation tank, isolated from the air, completely eliminating odor overflow. Meanwhile, the three-stage microbial composite bacteria collaborative treatment technology results in a pollutant degradation rate exceeding 96%, with toilet air quality approaching “sterile, odorless, and tasteless” levels.
Material and Structural Development: Mobile toilets were initially manufactured using materials such as wood, with simple structures and functions, and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually evolved to use materials such as fiberglass and polyethylene. According to structural form, they can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets; according to mobility, they can be divided into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, powered and towed mobile toilets; and according to sewage treatment methods, they can be divided into water-flushing and waterless suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flushing mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.
Design Principles: The design of mobile toilets should adhere to the principles of mobility and convenience, economic durability; environmental protection and ecological friendliness, beneficial to the environment; improving efficiency, and promoting humanity. The overall structure should consider being lightweight, using lightweight and durable materials as much as possible; the structure should be sturdy; the design should also consider controlling the height and width of the toilet; and the mobility device should be fully considered for completeness and rationality.
