Lanzhou Mobile Toilet Construction

The construction of mobile toilets in Lanzhou involves multiple aspects, including the adjustment of existing public toilets, factory production, and the relevant characteristics of the mobile toilets themselves.

Adjustment of Existing Public Toilets

The mobile public toilet at the T-junction east of Yin Tan Ze Hua Primary School in Qilihe District has experienced aging issues due to long-term use, with serious circuit board failures rendering it inoperable. At the same time, located at a T-junction on a construction road section, this toilet faces problems such as ground subsidence, occupation of the sidewalk for the blind, and obstruction of pedestrian traffic, making it unsuitable for continued placement. It was relocated on July 4, 2024. Currently, due to limited special funds for public toilets and difficulties in recruiting management personnel, it is temporarily impossible to move the mobile toilet back. However, relevant departments have stated that once public toilets are procured in the next phase, they will communicate and coordinate with relevant streets to conduct on-site surveys and site selection in recommended areas. If a suitable location for placement is found, they will plan to add toilets in a coordinated manner.

Factory Production

There is on-site production of mobile toilets at the Lanzhou Tongchuang Source Factory. Workers are working overtime to meet delivery deadlines for customers, demonstrating the factory's efficiency in mobile toilet production and its emphasis on customer needs.

Characteristics of Mobile Toilets

Mobile toilets are generally composed of fecal sewage storage tanks (or fecal sewage treatment devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. They come in various structural forms, including single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets. The methods of mobility also vary, including hoisting and handling mobile toilets, powered and towed mobile toilets. According to sewage treatment methods, they can be classified as water-flush and waterless-flush suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flush mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets. In design, mobile toilets should adhere to the principles of mobility and convenience, economic durability; environmental protection and ecological benefits; and improving efficiency and promoting humanity. The overall structure should be lightweight, using lightweight and durable materials as much as possible, while being sturdy. The design should also consider controlling the height and width of the toilet, and the mobile device should be fully considered for completeness and rationality to ensure that the mobile toilet can meet the usage needs in different scenarios.
