Extreme sanitary challenges in stadiums

When 60,000 fans visit toilets within a few minutes, you need enormous water and sewage capacity! Unless you install a vacuum sanitary system. Costly infrastructure needs can now be replaced with cost-effective vacuum solutions.

FIFA recommendations

Stadiums should have at least 20 toilets for each 1000 women, and 15 toilets and/or urinals for each 1000 men, with a higher ratio in VIP areas. The infrastructure required to achieve this may be difficult to provide.

Jets™ meets the recommendations

Jets™ vacuum systems can meet the recommended specifications and cope with high flushing rates in short periods, proven for decades on the world’s largest cruise liners. The small footprint of the system, simpler logistics, less need for core drilling and sewerage trenching make it easier to install vacuum toilets. Small-diameter vacuum piping can be routed upward and around obstacles.

Water savings

Gravity toilets for stadiums need large volumes of water. Using vacuum systems, water consumption can be reduced by up to 90% compared with gravity toilets.

Sewerage

The volume of sewage from the stadium may overload the existing infrastructure. Vacuum toilets reduce sewage volumes by up to 90%, reducing the load on the existing public network.

Difficult terrain

Geological conditions at stadiums can make excavation difficult. Vacuum piping can be laid in shallow trenches in flat, rocky, sandy, or swampy terrain, reducing installation and maintenance costs. The built-in vacuum can also be used to pump sewage to the nearest connection point.

Hygiene

Inadequate, unhygienic and dirty toilets may be a health risk and encourage anti-social behaviour. In Jets™ systems, the powerful vacuum draws the waste along with more than 60 litres of air into the piping with every flush, reducing aerosols and odours. Spectators respect clean and efficient toilet facilities.
