A construction site needs enough toilets for its crew for the whole job, placed clear of the work and serviced on a set schedule. Road and warehouse projects in Tarrant County move as the work moves, so the layout is reviewed at each new phase.
Key takeaways
- Construction units are planned from the crew size and the length of the job.
- A federal construction sanitation rule sets worker-count requirements, and the current text should be checked before the count is fixed.
- Road and warehouse projects move, so the units are placed by work front.
- Servicing is set on a schedule that matches the crew's use.
- A construction unit is planned on the lot; an event on the same ground is a different permit question.
How many toilets does a construction crew need?
The count is planned from the crew size and the shift length, checked against the federal construction sanitation rule's current worker-count figures.
Worker-count figures for construction sanitation come from federal rules that were not rechecked for this page. Confirm the current text before the count is fixed, rather than relying on a number printed elsewhere.
Once the count is set, place units so no worker has to walk far from the work, and keep a unit clear of the materials and the traffic route.
How do road and warehouse projects change the layout?
The layout moves as the work moves, so units are placed by work front and reviewed at each new phase.
The I-35W Alliance corridor carries large road work, and the final segment is one of the projects in the area. The start date for that segment had not been confirmed when this page was written.
A unit placed at one end of a long site is often the wrong place a month later. Review the layout before each new front opens, and move the units with the crew.
Which rules apply when a construction site hosts an event?
A construction unit on private ground is a work question. An event on the same ground is an event question, and placing portable toilets on private property is a listed trigger for the City of Fort Worth's Outdoor Events Permit.
Where a site hosts a public event, the units used by the public are planned to the event rules and the accessible rule. The units used only by the crew are planned to the construction rules.
Ask the City of Fort Worth or the relevant city before the order if the two uses overlap.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a construction unit stay on a site?
As long as the work runs. The servicing schedule is set on the quote, based on the crew size and the length of the job.
Does the I-35W road project change my delivery?
It can, because the layout moves as the phases move. Tell Fort Worth Porta Potty Rental the phase and the access route so the delivery is planned for the current front.
