0 The Type Of Porta Potty Edmonton Offers

By Marci Glover


On construction sites, throughout the province, workers and others visiting must be able to deal with their personal hygiene needs. This means they need to be able to visit a restroom on occasion. A porta potty Edmonton construction owners and general managers need can be rented for this purpose.

The history of the modern portable potty is rooted in the outhouses used many, many years ago. The idea that waste can be dropped into a container for later processing met a need before plumbing was invented. The changing of this from a hole in the ground to a containerized unit naturally flowed from that idea.

When these units are delivered, it can be seen that the modern equivalent of the old outhouse will be constructed from a sturdy material, usually fiberglass. It will have a toilet seat mounted on a bench, above a hole. Since there is no running water and nothing resembling a drain, no sink is available, however, many will have a hand sanitizer and paper towels for hygiene purposes. The presence of a mirror in some and the inclusion of toilet paper in all rounds out the amenities.

Contained in the tank, below the seat, are chemical compounds composed of essential enzymes that break the solid waste down into something approaching liquid. This also provides a odor concealing fragrance that is helpful especially on those hot days. It is the same enzymes that are used in the municipal sewer system and septic tanks and pools under private homes.

There are other units that are a bit larger than the closet sized units and they are also available from most companies offering the smaller ones. These will have a tank of fresh water connected to a faucet for a more hygienic experience for all. They are a bit more expensive than their smaller cousins, however, they can provide for a larger number of people and the convenience of the sink is also helpful in many areas.

Construction sites will need to use either of these units as the structure they are working on does not have working plumbing for a good portion of the project. Most jurisdictions require certain conveniences if personnel are on site for certain amounts of time. This is also something the owner of the site wants to offer their employees and sub contractors.

Finding the correct company to provide this service for your event is as easy as checking with friends and business associates who have used them before. The mathematics dealing with how many of these units are necessary for the number of people you expect to show up can be computed by these professionals. The cleaning and maintenance of them is also included in the bill and that is something you want to monitor.

The construction site has many people coming and going at all hours of the day. The need for an attractive, well constructed place for hygiene purposes is absolutely necessary. Just the ability to sit down for a few minutes will help many personnel working on the site. Making this available to your employees, contractors and their sub contractors will only help facilitate good relations.
