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):

  • Separate male/female sections with individual entrances

40ft Layout (Example):

For instance, we can also configure specific all-gender layouts or add accessible DDA-compliant cubicles . Likewise, we can increase basin counts to reduce queues during peak times.
