Overview
Overview
We produce, supply, and customise nearly anything to your specification. Within the Sanitary and Septic family that means the full range of hygiene and water types: WC blocks, shower blocks, combined WC and shower units, washrooms, laundry blocks, kitchen and catering modules, septic tanks, water tanks, grey and blackwater tanks, and accessible sanitary cells. WC blocks come in gents, ladies and accessible variants. Units run stand-alone where there is no mains connection, or hook directly into base water and sewer when there is. The shell is the same 20 ft ISO 1CC envelope used across our other families, which keeps transport, lashing and stacking identical to a dry cube. Internal fit-out is sealed, ventilated and finished to hygienic wet-area surfaces.
The same line delivers this family at scale into government fire and rescue programmes, in fire-service red and hot-dip galvanised with a 24-month warranty on the steelwork, and builds units that ship to defence bases and emergency-accommodation programmes across the region. Whatever the duty, the type taxonomy stays open: any function in the list above can be specified, combined and finished to the deployment.
Build standard
Construction and materials
Frame
hot-rolled steel, EN 1090-1 EXC2 chain, welded under EN ISO 3834-2.
Skin
1.6 mm corrugated steel or PIR sandwich panel where insulation is required for year-round use.
Wet-area lining
glass-fibre-reinforced sheet or HPL panel sealed at every joint with sanitary silicone.
Floor
anti-slip R10 finish in WC and shower cells, R11 in the shower tray. Underlay is hot-rolled steel cross-members.
Shower tray
stainless steel or moulded GRP with central drain and seal.
Drainage
DN 100 main drain to a gravity manifold on the long side. Internal pipework in PP-H or PVC-U, all joints accessible from a service void.
Hot water
electric storage boilers, 30 L for hand-wash points, 80 L per shower cell, or a single 300 L 6 kW unit feeding a shower block of four to six heads.
Ventilation
mechanical extraction over WC and shower cells at a minimum of 8 air changes per hour, with a passive louvered intake. Powered roof fans on the laundry and kitchen variants.
Electrical
PN-HD 60364 distribution board, 32 A or 63 A CEE inlet, RCBO per circuit, IP44 fittings in wet areas, IP65 outside. LED panels throughout.
Insulation (heated variant)
100 mm PIR walls and 140 mm PIR roof, 100 mm mineral wool floor where the unit will overwinter on site.
Doors
1.6 mm steel external doors with EPDM gasket. Internal cubicle partitions in HPL with anti-vandal hinges and indicator locks.
Backflow protection
DIN EN 1717 compliant inlet group on the fresh-water side. Mandatory where the unit can be cross-connected to a non-drinking line.
Surface preparation
ISO 8501 Sa 2.5 in our own blast booth. Two-coat system rated to C3 corrosivity per EN ISO 12944.
Livery
catalog colours are RAL 3000 (fire-service red), RAL 5010 (gentian blue) and RAL 7016 (anthracite). Hot-dip galvanised steelwork on request, as supplied to fire and rescue programmes.
Specifications
Dimensions and tolerances
External envelope and corner-fitting tolerances meet ISO 668 and ISO 1496-1 so the unit can be lifted, stacked and transported on the same chassis as a dry cube. Each unit ships with a unique BIC code, CSC plate, multilingual handover manual and an as-built drawing of the plumbing and electrical loops.
