Modular Sanitary Solution for Humanitarian Operations in the UAE
In humanitarian contexts, speed, reliability, and flexibility are critical. In the United Arab Emirates, the Red Crescent faced the challenge of deploying sanitary facilities quickly in temporary locations. Modular construction provided the ideal framework to meet these urgent needs.
The Challenge
The project required a compact and efficient wastewater management solution within modular sanitary containers. Several constraints had to be addressed:
- Limited space inside containers
- No possibility of gravity drainage
- Wastewater coming from multiple sources (toilets, showers, washbasins)
- Ensuring reliable sanitation under these conditions was essential for maintaining hygiene and operational continuity.
The Solution
To meet these requirements, the Sanicubic 1 WP was installed directly inside the modular container.
This system
- Collects wastewater from all sanitary fixtures
- Pumps it efficiently to the drainage network
- Operates independently from gravity systems
- Ensures consistent and reliable performance
Its compact design made it perfectly suited for integration into modular units, without compromising space or accessibility.
Why Modular Construction Matters
This project highlights the strength of modular construction in humanitarian operations:
- Rapid deployment in remote or temporary locations
- Scalable solutions adaptable to different site needs
- Controlled installation in prefabricated environments
- Reliable infrastructure, even in challenging conditions
- A Reliable Sanitation System for Temporary Facilities
By combining modular construction with a high-performance lifting station, the Red Crescent successfully implemented a durable and efficient sanitation solution.
The result: safe, hygienic, and fully functional sanitary facilities, ready to operate wherever they are needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Sanicubic 1 WP is a floor-standing wastewater lifting station designed for domestic and commercial applications. Robust and reliable, it can evacuate wastewater from several sanitary fixtures connected to the same system.
By providing reliable wastewater evacuation, the Sanicubic 1 WP helps reduce the risk of stagnant water, overflows and unpleasant odours. It therefore contributes to maintaining suitable sanitary conditions in temporary facilities.
Yes. The station collects wastewater in its tank and pumps it to a discharge point located higher up or at a distance. This makes it possible to install sanitary facilities where conventional gravity drainage is not possible.
Yes. Its floor-standing design and compact configuration make it suitable for installation inside a sanitary container or modular structure. The available space, maintenance access, ventilation and connections must be considered when designing the container.
Depending on the installation configuration, the Sanicubic 1 WP can be connected to several fixtures, including toilets, washbasins, sinks, showers, baths and certain appliances that produce wastewater. The exact number of fixtures must be confirmed according to the system sizing and project requirements.
Before installation, the number and type of connected fixtures, the wastewater volume, the discharge distance and lifting height, the available space inside the container, the electrical supply, maintenance access and local regulations should be assessed. SFA recommends consulting a qualified professional to ensure correct system sizing and installation.
