Introduction
Definition of Sanitary Appliances:
Sanitary appliances are fixtures installed in buildings to facilitate hygiene and
sanitation. They include toilets, sinks, urinals, Showers, Taps and other devices
essential for waste disposal and personal cleanliness.

Types and Functions:

These appliances serve various purposes, from waste management to hand
washing, and are critical for maintaining public health in shared spaces.

Purpose of Assessment:
The goal of this presentation is to assess the condition and functionality of these
appliances in the building, using a standard rating scale to ensure clarity and
consistency.

Rating Scale (1-20):

We’ll evaluate each appliance based on factors like functionality, cleanliness,
and maintenance needs to identify areas requiring improvement.

OBSERVATIONS & ISSUES - Materials and Finishes
Toilets and Sinks:
They were mostly ceramic, which is durable but susceptible to staining and
cracking if not maintained, especially given the issues with leaking and locking.
Showers:
Materials would include tiled floors and walls
Hygienic Features:
The blocked toilets on the 100 floor indicate the need for easy-to-clean, anti-
bacterial materials and features to improve sanitation.
Maintenance and Monitoring:
The low number of functional appliances suggests a need for monitoring systems
or preventive maintenance features that alert management to leaks or
malfunctions before they become unusable.

Installation Considerations
Space Requirements:
Bathrooms on the Ground and 1st floors lack sufficient space or maintenance
access, contributing to functional and hygiene issues.
Plumbing Needs:
The leaking toilets and lack of taps point to plumbing issues; all fixtures should
ideally have reliable water connections and easy access for repairs.

Maintenance and Longevity

Cleaning and Hygiene:
Toilets blocked with mop sticks and sinks/showers lacking water access suggest
that maintenance practices may be insufficient or inconsistent. Regular cleaning
and timely repairs could address these issues.
Common Repairs:
Given the leakage and functionality issues, standard maintenance like checking
seals, unclogging drains, and repairing taps would be necessary to maintain
usable facilities.
Replacement Needs:
Fixtures frequently locked or in poor condition may need full replacements,
which could be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
Environmental and Health Impacts
Water Wastage Due to Leakage:
The leaking toilets on the 1st floor represent potential water wastage, which
could be addressed by upgrading to leak-resistant models.
Impact of Broken or Dirty Fixtures:
Locked and blocked toilets reduce usability and create unhygienic conditions,
underscoring the need for durable and easily sanitized materials.
Health Risks:
Unusable sinks, showers, and unhygienic toilets increase the risk of germ spread
and reduce user comfort.

RECCOMENDATIONS
Maintenance Actions by Floor
400 Floor
1. Toilets and Urinals: Repair or replace the non functional toilets for the
female toilets, but schedule weekly checks to confirm functionality and
address minor issues.
 2. Sinks and Basins: All functional, but introduce a regular cleaning
schedule to maintain hygiene and appearance.

3. Shower Areas: Check shower fixtures and water pressure monthly.

Consider water-saving showerheads for eco-friendliness.

300 Floor
1. Urinals: Repair or replace the 2 non-functional urinals, checking for
plumbing issues.

2. Sinks and Basins: Add a cleaning schedule to avoid build up of grime

and address any leaks.

3. Showers: Regular checks are suggested every month to maintain

functionality and cleanliness.

200 Floor
1. Toilets: Since some toilets are not working, repair and clean blocked
ones. Create a routine check for plumbing issues and address ongoing
problems.

2. Urinals: Repair or replace any non-functional units, as these impact

overall facility usage.

3. Showers: Replace missing taps and ensure both showers are functional.
Monthly plumbing maintenance can prevent issues.

4. Sinks and Basins: Verify that all sinks have proper tap fittings and
repair any non-functional units.
100 Floor
1. Toilets: Clean and reopen locked toilets, and ensure they are suitable for
use. Set up a cleaning schedule and remove makeshift blockages.

2. Sinks and Basins: Repair non-functional sinks, particularly those

affected by heavy usage.

3. Showers: Ensure all showers have working taps and check for hot water
functionality.

General Upgrades and Enhancements

1. Eco-Friendly Upgrades:
o Install sensor-based taps and water-efficient toilets to
conserve water.
o Add LED lighting for lower energy use and improved sustainability.

2. Accessibility Improvements:
o Widen at least one stall on each floor to accommodate wheelchair
users and add accessible sinks.

3. Air Quality and Odor Control:

o Add automatic air fresheners and improve ventilation systems to
enhance comfort.

4. Regular Inspections:
o Implement bi-annual plumbing checks to address wear and tear
proactively.

CONCLUSION
The CMSS building’s sanitary appliances require substantial maintenance, with
many fixtures non-functional and needing regular checks to ensure hygiene and
usability. Suggested upgrades include eco-friendly features, accessibility
improvements, and routine cleaning schedules to enhance functionality and user
comfort.
