High-impact areas bring unique toilet facility challenges

Designers of places like skate parks, roadside rest stops and inner-city precincts face unique challenges when incorporating toilets into their plans.

These areas are regularly frequented by people with a lot of time on their hands, and various tools at their disposal. Bluntly, the risk of anti-social behaviour and malicious damage to facilities is much higher.

They also tend to experience lots of traffic, and high-impact use. This affects both facility longevity and maintenance requirements. Maintenance needs tend to be more intensive, and more expensive. Smart designers look for ways to construct the facilities to actively minimise these effects.

Key considerations for success

Several key features help ensure durability, maximise aesthetics, and improve ease of maintenance.

One is the use of stainless steel mini-orb internals. These (or aluminium composite materials) provide excellent impact resistance and are difficult to dent. Plus the ribbed profile discourages graffiti and facilitates easier cleaning.

Proper also lighting plays a significant role in deterring vandalism. Well-lit areas discourage such activities. For added security, consider CCTV.

To simplify maintenance and cleaning, incorporate gaps under the walls. High-quality, durable stainless steel fixtures and doors provide increased impact resistance and greater cleanliness.

Prioritise aesthetics for skate parks: pretty graphic panels that match the vibe of the area can often prevent vandalism.

By incorporating these factors and features, designers can create toilet facilities that are not only functional and durable but also visually appealing and well-suited to high-impact, high-use areas that can be prone to vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
