Floating Restrooms Floating Sanitation Facilty Custom Made Floating RestroomFLOATING SANITATION FACILITY by MARINE BOAT BUILDERS CO.
The following specification describes a floating sanitation facility for use in no discharge waters. The unit is designed for ease of use and long-term durability, with low maintenance a consideration. Integrity of the holding tank is a primary goal, even under abusive conditions, such as grounding and other impact. In general, the unit is constructed of composite materials, in accordance with standard marine industry practices. Hardware components suitable for a marine environment are fitted for functionality and use. Composite Materials-General
Exterior Gelcoat: ISO NPG sprayed at 21mils (wet)
Interior Gelcoat: ISO NPG sprayed at 21mils (wet)
Resin: General purpose DCPD polyester
Reinforcement: Standard "E" glass cloth, mat, gun roving and woven roving
Foam Core: Divinycell H-80 closed cell or equivalent
Fabric Core: 4mm Coremat or equivalent Floats and Tank External Shell
This will be constructed in one piece and will include both of the flotation pontoons and the external protective tank shell. The initial layer of reinforcement will be laminated with vinyl-ester resin for improved blister resistance. The laminate shall be comprised of gun roving, fabric core and woven roving. The pontoons are filled with 2PCF flotation foam fitted with sufficient foam to provide positive flotation. Holding Tank
The tank will be constructed separately from the float module. The laminate will be comprised of gun roving and woven roving, to a nominal thickness of 0.25". The tank top will be laminated of gun roving, foam core and woven roving. There will be 6 internal; foam cored transverse baffles, laminated in place. A minimum of 2 clean out plates and one inspection hatch will be fitted to the top. The top and tank assembly will be bonded into the float module. The cavity between the tank and the outer shell will be foam filled with 2PCF foam. The tank is fitted with a level indicator gauge. The tank capacity is 650 gallons. Deck
The deck will have a non-skid gelcoat surface and will be laminated from gun roving, foam core and woven roving. The deck will have a downward turning perimeter flange of sufficient width for fitting a rub rail and corner bumpers. The deck will be bonded on the underside to the float modules and tank. House
The house is designed with three compartments. Two compartments house the toilets and the center compartment houses the electrical/mechanical equipment, supplies and so forth. The house is laminated with gelcoat inside and out, gun roving and fabric core. FRP, gel coated, powder coated, self-closing doors are fitted at the ends of the house for public use and the center maintenance area. All doors have louvered vents. Public access doors are fitted with timer locks, settable by the maintenance authority. Roof
The roof is laminated with gelcoat, gun roving, foam core and woven roving. The roof provides overhangs on the ends for some protection from the elements. It is bonded permanently to the house. Sewage System
Each toilet compartment contains a water closet, Sealand Envirolet model # with a wet discharge system. The toilets discharge directly into the holding tank and are minimal water usage units. The toilets are refilled by an intake water pump, operated via a level switch. . The pump is powered from a battery that is in turn charged via roof-mounted solar panels. Alternate systems are available for salt-water deployments. Both the toilets and the tank are vented to the roof. A system of valves and piping allows for individual servicing of the units Solar Power System
This system consists of two each, 21watt, 12VDC panels. The panels charge the battery through a voltage regulator. The battery is a 160AH deep-cycle gel cell unit. Lighting
One anchor light is provided. The light is in accordance with USCG 33CFR and is a solar powered, LED unit. The maintenance room will have an over head, 12VDC, switched light. Door System
The public access doors will be automatically locked based on a combination of any of the following circumstances: - Time of day-this is settable from the maintenance room
- Full holding tank-this is activated by the level switch in the tank
- Insufficient battery amperage-activated via the electrical system
Both public access doors will have electronic strikes with interior manual over ride switches. Hardware
Included hardware is as follows: - 6" mooring cleats-6 each
- High impact rub rail all around
- Additional corner bumpers on 4 corners
- Towing/Mooring eyes-2 each
- SS handrails-5 each
- Mooring light-1 each
- Appropriate door signage
- Louver vents, 12" square-2 each
- Skylights-2 each
Physical Specifications
Displacement (light) (lbs): 4350
Displacement (full load) (lbs): 8420
Plan Form Size (ft): 20L x 11W
Height Above WL (ft): 10.3
Sewage Tank Capacity (gal): 650
Toilet Usage (gallons/flush): 0.25

Fresh water supply-an alternate to the fresh water supply fill system is available for salt-water deployment. This consists of a rainwater catch system, with multi-stage filtering, and a 50 gallon water tank. The tank is plumbed to the standard fresh water pump. An overflow discharge is provided for overboard discharge of excess water. A low water wireless (802.11b) alarm is available. Wireless Transmitter-an 802.11(b) transmitter system may be fitted. This system requires line of site to the receiving antenna. An omni –directional transmitting antenna will be installed in a NEMA type enclosure on the roof. The transmitter responds to a contact closure to the receiving antenna, which has an indicator light and may be connected to an audible alarm. The transmitter will activate base on any of the following: - Full holding tank-signal from tank sender
- Low water in optional freshwater tank
- Low Battery condition
Bottom paint-a variety of bottom paint applications are available, depending on the intended deployment area. Extended warranty-extensions to the standard warranty are available for years 2 and 3.
Custom Colors-A variety of colors is available. Edson Pump-an Edson 1.5" manual pump (model) may be added in a compartment in the deck. This will be plumbed to the holding tank and the compartment is of sufficient size to accommodate the intake hose and the handle. The compartment will be fitted with an electronic lock tied to the door locking system. SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE |
