FUNCTION VENUES PRODUCT IN FOCUS Landscape & Exteriors Wasdale Lakehead, Cumbria Product: NatSol Zero Discharge Toilets Supplier: NatSol, 01686 412653, info@ natsol.co.uk, www.natsol.co.uk Details: In 2018 the National Trust asked NatSol to design and supply waterless Zero Discharge toilets for a site at the head of Wast Water, Cumbria. This is a very busy site for walkers who head up the fells. There is also a campsite there, but concerns had been raised about the existing flush toilet provision and the risk of polluting England’s cleanest lake. The technology installed to clean the discharge had not been reliable. NatSol worked with the trust and with Crosby Granger Architects who designed the building. The project opened to the public in July 2020 and the toilets are functioning as designed. NatSol originally developed the Zero Discharge model for The Royal Parks. New toilets were needed for a site in the Isabella Plantation, Richmond Park, London. These Zero Discharge toilets are pumped out by vacuum sludge tanker after around 6,000 uses per toilet. There are now such toilets in Wasdale along with several urinals. The interconnected tanks collectively contain waste from over 50,000 uses. NatSol designed the ventilation system that makes the cubicles completely odourfree under normal operation. The toilet pedestals are stainless steel with Corian tops and are coated internally with PTFE (Teflon). Maintenance is minimal. The key to the success of these toilets is the ventilation system. There is a single fan driving the ventilation. This is connected to a manifold from which individual pipes connect to each tank. Air is drawn down the pedestals and also down the urinal pipes. An anemometer can be used to check the airflow down each pedestal to ensure that this is sufficient to prevent odours escaping from the tanks into the cubicles. In order to speed up the passage of air through the pedestal aperture, and for reasons of child safety, NatSol has designed the pedestal tops to have narrow apertures. This also reduces light transfer into the tank below. At the request of the National Trust (NT), Natsol also installed an odour filter tank in the final stages of the ducting. This can take a filter medium if odours coming from the final vent termination ever become noticeable at ground level. So far, no medium has been required. The vent pipe termination is at the ridge level of the building, and this is well above ground level. The fan power is around 200W and uses around five units daily. This is a reasonable cost for a facility of this size. The NT reported that it is pumping out around four times a year, which equates to around 100,000 uses, given the size of tanker employed. Feedback: The National Trust was sufficiently pleased with the function of the toilets at Wasdale that word got around within the organisation, and soon after NatSol was asked to supply toilets for a similarly sized facility at Bannau Brychieniog (formerly the Brecon Beacons).
