A Porta Potty Plan for Large Job Sites
Pad maps, unit ratios, split clusters, and service days for multi-crew construction sites across Prince George's County, Washington DC, and Montgomery County.

A large site without a sanitation plan gets the same three failures: too few units, one unreachable cluster, and a vendor who cannot prove they were there. Write the plan before the first trailer hits the gate.
Draw the pad map
- Each cluster: unit count, ADA, hand-wash, service-lane approach
- Walking time from the furthest workface at peak headcount
- Where the vacuum truck turns around without stopping the crane
Ratio, then reality
Start near 1 standard unit per 10 workers on site, then add for overtime, heat, and overtime again. That ratio is tighter than OSHA Table D-1 on purpose: inspectors and owners walk the pad. Undersizing is visible.
Lock the weekday
Named service days, combo on file, GPS or photo on the ticket, honest miss if the pad is blocked. That is the whole operating system. Brand slogans are not.
FAQ
When do I need more than one restroom cluster?
When walking time exceeds a few minutes at peak, or when separate trades are fenced apart. Split pads beat one giant row nobody uses.
