CASE STUDY<br />
Wasdale Lakehead<br />
Product: NatSol Zero Discharge Toilets<br />
Supplier: NatSol, 01686 412653<br />

In 2018 the National Trust asked NatSol to design<br />
and supply waterless Zero Discharge toilets for a site<br />
at the head of Wast Water, Cumbria. This is a very<br />
busy site for walkers who head up the fells. There<br />
is also a campsite there, but concerns had been<br />
raised about the existing flush toilet provision and<br />
the risk of polluting England’s cleanest lake. The<br />
technology installed to clean the discharge had not<br />
been reliable.<br />
NatSol worked with the trust and with Crosby<br />
Granger Architects who designed the building. The<br />
project opened to the public in July 2020 and the<br />
toilets are functioning as designed.<br />
NatSol originally developed the Zero Discharge<br />
model for The Royal Parks. New toilets were needed<br />
for a site in the Isabella Plantation, Richmond<br />
Park, London. These Zero Discharge toilets are<br />
pumped out by vacuum sludge tanker after<br />
around 6,000 uses per toilet. There are now such<br />
toilets in Wasdale along with several urinals. The<br />
interconnected tanks collectively contain waste<br />
from over 50,000 uses.<br />
NatSol designed the ventilation system that<br />
makes the cubicles completely odour-free under<br />
normal operation. The toilet pedestals are stainless<br />
steel with Corian tops and are coated internally with<br />
PTFE (Teflon). Maintenance is minimal.<br />
Skänes Djurpark is a zoological park near Malmo,<br />
Sweden, and home to Shaun The Sheep Land,<br />
a themed venue where families can meet the<br />
characters from the famous Aardman Studios<br />
animated series ‘Shaun The Sheep.’<br />
Regency Shepherd Huts built and delivered<br />
a huge double shepherd hut which was the first<br />
to land on Skånes’ new luxury glamping section<br />
of the park. The remit of the double shepherd<br />
hut was to be sumptuous, spacious, bright and<br />
colourful and to appeal to children of all ages.<br />
The exterior is clad in ‘ocean blue’ corrugated tin<br />
with a curved black roof.<br />
The interior has three bedrooms and sleeps<br />
seven people. It contains a kitchen, dining area<br />
and bathroom. However the standout feature is<br />
the high-end kid’s bunk bed.<br />
You’ll find a plethora of blues, yellows and reds<br />
throughout the hut, which create a wonderfully<br />
colourful, modern theme. Also on display are<br />
traditional Victorian quirks which are all in<br />
keeping with the original Shaun the Sheep TV<br />
programme.<br />
Håkon Lund, owner/director of the park, was<br />
extremely complimentary of the high quality<br />
workmanship and fine attention to detail in the<br />
double hut.<br />
