Pureablue was
involved in a project to install a restroom at a site on the new Pacific
Highway upgrade north of Maclean.
Expected to attract
a high level of usage due to the location, the Devil’s Pulpit site required a
facility with total water carriage despite no access to water, sewer or
electrical service at the site.
Being adjacent to a
National Park, the restroom design had to be sensitive to site discharges. The
principal contractor also demanded a project timeline of 120 days for design,
build, install and commission, which played to the strengths of Pureablue’s
pre-engineered building range.
The amenities solution
involved the construction of a CAB3 building featuring two 10,000L CWT
Collection Well waste system, with the management to be carried out in
conjunction with a local pump-out contractor.
Water would be delivered
by an elevated water tank (6m) with sufficient capacity of 10,000L to service the
estimated usage volumes and deliver sufficient pressure. A solar lighting
system was also installed at the restroom project. All the structures were
designed and built by Pureablue.
The restroom
facility drew twice the estimated number of users over the initial three
months, proving the quality of the Pureablue constructed facility.
The project has been
deemed a major success with an excellent solution for a water carriage system.
Despite high maintenance costs, it delivers a high quality facility to highway
users.
