Product Description
These 10 ft, 20 ft and 40 ft ablution block container – toilets, showers, basins provide complete welfare facilities for construction sites, events, camps, and remote locations. For example, you can choose a 10ft unit for small crews, a 20ft unit for medium-sized teams, or a 40ft unit for large operations. Therefore, this modular range lets you match facility capacity exactly to your requirements.
Why Choose a Container Ablution Block?
Traditional welfare facilities require permanent construction or unreliable portable units. In contrast, these container ablution blocks offer durable, secure, and relocatable facilities . Consequently, you save on construction costs while maintaining professional standards . Moreover, the Corten steel construction provides exceptional durability for demanding site conditions . Thus, you gain long-term value and flexibility.
Size Options – Capacity at a Glance
We offer three standard sizes to suit different crew sizes and space constraints.
| Size | Dimensions | Toilets | Showers | Basins | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10ft | 3,048mm x 2,438mm | 1-2 | 1 | 1-2 | Small sites (5-10 workers) |
| 20ft | 6,058mm x 2,438mm | 2-3 | 2 | 2-3 | Medium sites (10-20 workers) |
| 40ft | 12,192mm x 2,438mm | 4-6 | 4 | 4-6 | Large sites (20-50+ workers) |
For example, a 10ft unit works perfectly for small construction crews or remote workstations . Similarly, a 20ft unit suits medium-sized projects with 10-20 workers . Furthermore, a 40ft unit provides complete facilities for large sites, events, or permanent installations . If you need to scale up as your crew grows, we can supply multiple units or upgrade to the next size.
Steel Construction – Built for Site Durability
Steel construction makes these ablution blocks exceptionally durable for demanding site conditions. First, Corten steel (weathering grade S355J2W) forms a stable, self-protecting rust patina over time . Second, the robust steel frame withstands transport and repositioning without structural damage. Third, we insulate walls and ceilings with PU foam for year-round comfort . Finally, steel doors with heavy-duty locks provide security . Therefore, you can place these units anywhere without worrying about premature wear.
Internal Layouts – Toilets, Showers, Basins
We design internal layouts for efficient use of space and user privacy.
10ft Layout (Example):
-
One toilet cubicle + one shower cubicle + one hand basin
-
Separate male/female entrance (single each)
20ft Layout (Example):
-
Two toilet cubicles + two shower cubicles + two hand basins
-
Separate male/female sections with individual entrances
40ft Layout (Example):
