Construction and civil works
A connected cubicle can provide a compact toilet point on a construction or civil site where water, power and sewer or septic services can be brought to the unit. Confirm the location of existing services, vehicle access and the required site preparation before selecting the module.
Events and temporary operational sites
For events or temporary operating areas with suitable connections, a modular toilet offers a more building-like cubicle arrangement than a self-contained waste-storage option. The final placement and service plan should account for the event site, anticipated use and any authority or venue requirements.
Mining camps and remote work locations
ITO identifies mining camps and remote locations as applicable environments. In these settings, the key test is not remoteness alone: the project must establish a viable pressurised-water and sewer or septic solution, plus a safe delivery and lifting plan for the location.
Commercial, education and public-facing projects
A compact connected cubicle may be considered where a project needs a discrete sanitary point and has the required services. The proposed use, user access, site conditions and local requirements should determine whether this format is appropriate and what project-specific works need to be included.
Design, approvals, manufacture, delivery, setup and connections
Design and specification
Begin with the operating brief rather than a generic product choice. Identify whether a single or double cubicle is preferred, where services enter the site, the placement area, the intended duration and any project or client standards. ITO states that modular toilet units can be manufactured to project specifications; the actual layout, finishes, fixtures and scope should be confirmed in the selected model’s documentation and formal quotation.
Approvals and regulatory checks
Approval pathways are project-specific. They can depend on the site, proposed use, location, services and the relevant authority. ITO can handle local authority approval services, but the associated costs are not included unless specifically itemised in the formal quotation. For a Western Australian project using onsite wastewater, an application is required before the system is installed or altered; it is lodged with the relevant local government in the first instance, and the onsite system must be approved for use in WA. Requirements outside WA must be checked with the relevant jurisdiction and authority.
Manufacture and plumbing products
For a purchase project, confirm the required specification before manufacture or procurement, rather than assuming a standard inclusion. Where a plumbing or drainage product is within the WaterMark scheme, Australia’s National Construction Code framework requires appropriate product certification and authorisation for installation by a licensed plumber. Verify the particular product and its scope of use for the proposed installation; do not infer certification from a general product description.
Delivery and onsite setup
The live modular toilet page describes lifting points for movement by Hiab, crane or tilt tray, with manoeuvring by a suitably sized forklift also described. The appropriate method depends on access, lifting conditions, the unit and the site. ITO’s onsite setup service can assess ground conditions, coordinate foundations or footings where required, position and level the building, and complete tie-downs to the applicable engineering design and project specifications.
Water, power and wastewater connections
A modular toilet must be planned as a connected facility. ITO’s published range information describes 10A power, pressurised water and sewer connection points. ITO can coordinate water, sewer or wastewater and electrical connections, with requirements such as site plans or a site visit used to establish scope where services are unclear. Confirm existing service locations, service capacity, trenching and restoration requirements, utility-provider charges and the responsibility for each work package in the quote.
