Vandalism is too often an unfortunate reality of the portable restroom business. Whether it’s graffiti, theft or property destruction, it becomes a time-consuming and costly issue for PROs.
Portable Solutions Group made use of modifying shipping containers into an array of containerized solutions and engineered enclosures with their line of DropBox products, and among the lineup are a series of modular restrooms designed to keep vandalism disruptions and costs to a minimum.
“Most of these acts of vandalism occur in areas of low public visibility, like restroom facilities,” says Robert Slagel, CEO and president of PSG. “So, we applied our expertise in site security and modular builds to create a restroom unit that was secure and comfortable for its users.”
For Slagel and PSG, providing extra security to the restroom stalls when designing was a must-have, so DropBox modular units are access-control compatible. “This unit allows customers to require badge access to enter the restroom, leaving a data point for accountability,” Slagel says. “Badge entry enhances security, keeping your job site safe while minimizing disruptions.”
DropBox restroom units are manufactured with the heavy construction industry in mind. They feature a shipping container exterior shell and a finished industrial interior with individual stalls to provide privacy. Though heavy duty in construction, the modular units can still be easily moved throughout sites and according to PSG, provide a solution for new construction, outages and project turnarounds.
To create a comfortable user experience, the units are climate-controlled, and each stall comes standard with a full-size toilet, running-water sink, hand dryer, soap dispenser and mirror.
PSG offers various toilet types and occupancy and size options and will build to the user’s request. “The units are completely customizable, from exterior paint to interior finishes and flooring,” Slagel says. “The added security of our access control software is optional, with many variations, including badge entry, facial detection and exterior 360 cameras.”
Depending on the customer’s site needs, the modular restrooms may have self-contained tanks or connect to municipal utilities. Access to the fresh and wastewater tanks is through container cargo doors or an additional door on the exterior of the units.
Slagel says customers are most satisfied with the restroom’s durability for a moveable unit, making it feasible for semi-permanent and permanent use if needed. 740-532-7822; www.portablesolutionsgroup.com
