When international disasters occur we are often challenged by logistic problems. The challenges are not only in regard to transport of requirements to the areas but also in building up camps and sanitary conditions. Sanitary requirements are often sub-standard or nonexistent as temporary chemical toilets are expensive, require maintenance and need a lot of space to transport. However, without good lavatory hygiene a camp can quickly develop health problems and spread disease.

In coorporation with The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), Clip-Lok has developed a combined transport box and latrine shelter which has resulted in The Dual Purpose Box.

During field trials and exercises, the box was approved with excellent results. Based on these results, the Swedish Rescue Agency has chosen to incorporate the use of the box in their future operations.

The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning, Red Cross and varios armed forces have invested in the Dual Purpose Box for immediate sanitary facilities in disaster areas.

The Clip-Lok Dual Purpose Latrine Box, which functions as both a transport box and a latrine/toilet. The Dual Purpose Box is designed to be used for shipping emergency supplies to the disaster area, and it can then be quickly and easily converted into a latrine, immediately reducing the risk of disease and ensuring better hygiene conditions.

To fulfil your demands the box can be adapted to solutions according to your requirements. As a standard Clip-Lok delivers The Dual Purpose Latrine Box with toilet configurations such as chairs, dry closets or platforms. To ensure easily disinfection, the base is film coated and has a pre-cut hole. If requested, also the sides can be delivered with film coating. The box offers privacy and can be locked from the inside.
