Installing Restroom Partitions for Dynamic Industries

Dynamic-Industries-Restroom-PartitionsProject
Overview


We were
recently contracted by Dynamic Industries as a vendor and installer of restroom
partitions and accessories.  Our team was
responsible for the installation of restroom
stalls
and select commercial restroom accessories.  The project encompassed the installation of
restroom stalls and accessories.  From
start to finish, the project took only 3 days to complete and experienced no
major setbacks or mishaps.


 


Client
Profile


Dynamic
Industries is an oil-related offshore services organization headquartered in New
Orleans, LA.  The organization
specializes in fabrication, construction, and maintenance.  A new facility, recently constructed in
Gonzales, TX, is dedicated to the monitoring oil flow.  Oil flow can actually be controlled remotely
from this facility if necessary.  This
new facility has three restrooms: 1 men's, 1 women's, and 1 shop. 


 


Project
Details


XPB Locker
and Supply installed 3 stalls in the restroom located near the shop.  We also installed a single urinal
screen.  In this particular restroom,
there was no need for ADA stalls. 
Standard stalls were constructed, measuring 37" each.  We also installed various restroom
accessories, including mirrors and paper towel dispensers. 


 


In the
men's restroom, we installed 2 restroom stalls. 
One of these was a 37" standard stall, while the other was an ADA
compliant stall measuring 62" in width. 


 


We
installed a total of three restroom stalls in the women's restroom.  One stall was aBathroom-Partitions-Installations 62" ADA compliant enclosure, while the
other two were 37" standard stalls. 
During the course of the installation, we decided to alter the
measurements of the ADA stall slightly. 
This stall was located between two walls, and the door was difficult to
shut.  To improve the functionality of
the door, we ordered a new pilaster and installed it. 


 


Equipment Spotlight


The client
had ordered baked
enamel restroom partitions
because they felt that a cost-effective material
was best suited for the facility.  With
something of a rather small staff, and with virtually no risk of vandalism,
baked enamel proved to be an ideal choice for their requirements.  Baked enamel is a readily available material
that represents the low end of the price spectrum.  While it is easy to scratch, it is also
repainted and comes with a touch up paint kit that can be used to repair
incidental bumps and scratches it may endure. 


 


These restroom
partitions
were installed in the floor mounted, overhead braced
configuration.  This configuration is one
of the sturdiest mounting configurations, second only to floor to ceiling
mounts.  However, the floor mounted,
overhead braced mount is much easier to install, and it takes much less time
than floor to ceiling build outs. 


 


Bathroom-Partitions-InstallationAdditional Accessories Installed During the
Project


While our
primary responsibility was to install restroom partitions for the new facility,
we were also contracted to install certain essential commercial restroom
accessories.  All restrooms required
mirrors and paper towel dispensers.  ADA
stalls were fitted with grab bars per ADA stall construction regulations.  In addition to installing toilet paper
dispensers in the shop, men's, and women's restrooms, we also installed a
convenient disposal fixture for feminine products in the women's restroom.
