CHALLENGESOLUTION

Some of the suites were builtin a basement with no routeto the sanitary sewer.

Sanibest units presented the idealanswer : no need for diggingto install sewer lines.

Traditional plumbing meanttrenching and tunneling allthe way through the building.

Each unit discharges waste up andover the suites into the sewer line,and then into the sewer main.

Too cost prohibitive and a dangerfor the structural integrity of thebuilding.

The units were recessed behindthe walls : SFA toilets then lookedlike conventional ones.
