The average unloading time for a bathroom pod depends on the unloading method (either lateral unloading with a forklift or top unloading with a crane) and is typically around 10 minutes per unit.
The weight of bathroom pods varies mainly depending on the chosen type (concrete structure – CBM or metal structure – CBL).
In the case of bathroom pods in concrete, the cladding panels can be glued to the external surfaces of the unit itself.
Generally, the lowest point is the bottom of the bathroom pod, which is leveled and can be considered as the zero point.
During transportation, each bathroom pod is completely wrapped in a shrinkable polyethylene cover.
The delivery start time, from the order and the finalization of the executive design, is normally 17 weeks
The prefabricated bathroom pod can be positioned from above (before each floor slab) during the construction of the building, or from the side (horizontally through rolling) once the building’s structural frame is completed and before starting the installation of the external walls and systems.
When the pod is to be positioned directly on the floor slab, it is required that its shape be drawn on the slab, marking the support points where the neoprene pads must be placed, in accordance with the design.
Loading and unloading operations can be carried out using a crane or overhead crane, or by forklift, depending on the size and weight of the pod.
