On-site, prefabricated bathroom pods can be craned on to scaffold landing platforms or cantilever gantries which have been placed level with the floor structures where the pods are to be finally positioned. As an alternative, they can be craned on to hoist platforms which lift them to the appropriate level.
From the landing area, the pods can be moved to their final installation positions or to a storage area either on the contractor’s pallet trucks or by using special nylon wheel assemblies supplied by RB Farquhar which are inserted into the base of the pod.
Site operatives using the wheel assemblies must push the pods only via the steel corner posts and minimal site labour is required for this process. Shims or pads may be used by the contractor at designated locations to adjust the final floor level of the pod.
Where floorless pods have been supplied for installation on to an existing floor structure, RB Farquhar supplies the lowest course of ceramic wall tiles loose for final on-site fixing.
Service hook-up is a straightforward operation using the pre-checked service connections on an exterior pod wall.
