Abstract

The lack of hygienic sanitation facilities remains a major concern in rural, urban slum, and temporary settlement areas. Conventional toilet structures constructed using brick masonry or reinforced cement concrete are expensive, time- consuming, and not suitable for relocation. This paper presents the design and development of a ferrocement detachable toilet unit as a low-cost, durable, and portable sanitation solution. Ferrocement panels reinforced with wire mesh are used to achieve high strength with reduced thickness and weight. The detachable design allows easy transportation, assembly, dismantling, and reuse of the unit. The paper discusses materials used, construction methodology, advantages, limitations, cost estimation, and potential applications. The proposed system supports sustainable sanitation practices and is suitable for rural development and emergency applications.
