The substructure consist of three chambers, which are below the toilet bowl. The urine is led into a canister in the first chamber. The faeces are collected in a pot in the second chamber. This chamber is improved ventilated by pipe. The ventilation pipe is over-top the roof of the toilet cabin and is blackened on top. Therefore the air is heated in the upper part of the pipe, so that low pressure develops there. Thus the air will be sucked out of the chamber and fresh air will flow into the chamber. After the faeces pot is filled it will be pushed into the third chamber. This chamber is painted black from inside and covered with glass Due to the greenhouse effect it will be heated up through solar radiation. A temperature of 60° C can be reached. Through that, bacterias and pathogens will be minimized.

So the location you build the UDDT on mustn‘t be shadowed at best. Look out for the region you are, since the sun proceeds differently (e.g. European vs. Equatorial). Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 7 Foundation Measurements : 180x141 cm We made a classical concrete foundation: We digged a hole with the above mentioned measures that was 0,2 m deep. Then filled it with gravel, broken bricks, 2 reinforcement steel grids joint together and finally concrete. In our case the first foundation was wrong directed, so a second foundation was made as indicated by the red arrow. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 8 Construction Plan Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 9 Substructure Before starting to build the substructure you should plan the walls you are gonna build. You need five walls and three spaces for the doors. Build the walls so that it fits to the highest collector (urine or faeces), take care so that everything is leveled. Planned walls with poopot Substructure without doors. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 10 Guideways for shit pot Build two guideways inside the faces and solar chamber, so that the pot is elevated. Reasons for the guideways: - distance from the toilet floor to the bottom of the pot (avoiding splashing and sounds) - distance to the ground of the chamber in case that there is water on the floor - faeces pot is closer to the solar window → more effective heating . On the guideways you can shift the pot that contains the shit from the inner chamber to the solar chamber. Take care that they are fairly leveled so nothing falls over. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 11 Slab Building the slab is a bit tricky and should be planned well. Think about that you have to build a negative first, done here with loam. Start with drawing the outlinings of the slab that will be modelled. Here the measurement were found by empiric trials with the users. slab: 80 x 60 cm poo hole: Diameter is 20 cm pee hole: 45 x 30 cm foot steps: 35 x 12 cm Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 12 Steps to build the slab constructing a frame for the formwork of the UDDT squatting slab (55cm x 80 cm) mixing loam soil and making it smooth for modelling preparing a place inside a building for making the slab adding a thin loam soil layer on a plastic foil into the frame cutting out the foot steps modelling placeholders for the faeces hole and the urine outlet preparing a reinforcement from coffee mesh to be added to the slab mixing the concrete: cement and sand (1:3 in terms of volume) and half a package of water proof adding the cement carefully into the formwork until the layer was 7 cm thick Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 13 Steps to build the slab Finished mould Slab Filled with concrete, leaving holes free Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 14 Steps to build the slab We modelled a rim for the urine basin out of a concrete sand mixture (1:2) with water proof additive, for the reason, that urine does not splash beyond the urine basin, and cleaning water does not enter the urine hole. We tried to do a reinforcement but, because we did not modell a full mould, it was difficult to hold it at the right position. We unmolded the rim for the urine basin and adding another layer of concrete (sand:cement – 1:1, with water proof) Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 15 Finishing the slab We made a mosaic with smashed tiles on the foot steps, adding a 1cm layer of concrete (sand:cement – 1:1, with water proof), laying the tile pieces and after they had been in a good position, hammering them with the handle of a trowel, after they had been fixed to the concrete. We added a very liquid mixture with cement and water proof (3:1) into the gaps, after the surface had been dried, we ripped off the cement from the tile surface and hardened the gaps with fingers (while wearing gloves) Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 16 Making a mould We made a mould for the lid to close the faeces hole, we made a round shape out of a metal sheet and modelled loam, so that we have a conical shape afterwards. We cut 1 cm steel bar of 1 m length and the ends were bent. A piece of wire mesh was fixed into the prepared formwork, the steel bar was connected to the wire mesh as a handle (so that people can cover the faeces hole easy without bowing down). Finally we filled the formwork with concrete. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 17 Intermediate plate Construction alike the foundation. For the lower part of the shuttering we used sheet metal of which we later made the doors for the urine and the faeces chamber. As distance piece we used little stones. We made two holes in the reinforcement. Where later the hole for the faeces shall be we put a cake-like piece made out of clay and in the other we fixed a pipe to later connect the urine pipe. Everything was filled with a mixture of cement, sand and gravel. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 18 Slab, mosaic After the UDDT building was plastered. The slab was inserted and the intermediate was plastered once. Smashed tiles were used to make a water protective mosaic floor . After all the tiles were layed the floor was plastered again. In the end the tiles were cleaned. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 19 Building the walls Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 20 Building the walls Here we constructed the walls by bricklaiyng, since the toilet will be presentated to officials and ought to be representative. But you can also build the walls with other materials. To be able to build the upper part of the walls we had a wooden construction to stand on (see picture at the right). Into the walls the door frame was fitted. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 21 Window Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 22 Roof For the roof wood planks (longer than the actual UDDT building) were put on top on the walls and then covered with sheet iron. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 23 Ventilation pipe The ventilation pipe shouldn't have a bend. If so it must at least have 135°. Therefore it would be best to guide it through the intermediate plate. If you do so don't forget to spare a hole when making the plate! The challenge here is to make a proper lining where the pipe goes through the roof. Preparing the aeration pipe The pipe exceeds the height of the roof by 50 cm. This top part has been painted black in order to increase the chimney effect, top part will warm up, the pressure in the top part will decrease and air will flow from bottom to the top. Mosquito mesh has been fixed in two layers to close the top opening, so flies are not coming out to spread diseases. To fix it, holes had been made into the pipe with a hot nail and mesh has been fixed with wire. A roof to cover the aeration pipe was made from corrugated iron sheet. A circle was cut (diameter ~50 cm). The sheet was made flat with a hammer, a slit was cut on one side so that a cone could be formed, holes were made into the sheet with nail and hammer, so that the cone shape could be fixed by binding wires through the holes. To fix the roof to the aeration pipe, 2 pieces of 6mm steel bars had been cut from BRC, 4 holes had been made with a hot steel bar into the pipe so that the roof could be fixed with the two steel bars pushed though the pipe.

At first the stairs were not standardized, so people who are walking on knees, due to disablities, could not climb them because they were two high. The stairs were adapted later. Fundament for stairs Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 26 Containers and adapters For the urine collection use a jerrycan (20 l). Use one screw cap in which you make a hole to guide the hose through. The cap can be fixed on the jerrycan and no urine will be spilled. The connection between the urine hole and the hose must be a fix corner piece(use screw couplings for expansion). Otherwise the hose can clog because of strong bending. For connecting a PVC pipe with a rubber pipe, the rubber pipe had to be heated on a small fire and widened. For collecting the faeces use a metal pot. Corner piece with with hose and scre cap Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Metal pot Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 27 Chamber doors Doors for the pot chambers were made by a metalworker and then plastered in. Measurements were Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 28 Plastering We plastered the whole building. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 29 Main door The main door was made from wood. The wood should be strong enough, so it won’t stretch out and change its shape. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 30 Solar chamber We used steel girders to build the aslope covering of the solar chamber. These were then filled up and plastered with cement. We build a steel frame for the solar window and plastered it in. Same for the door. Since a window would have been too fragil for transport and maintenance,too expensive we took an iron sheet instead. Also it would have been questionable to use a window in terms of acceptance, since the shitpot would have been exposed. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 31 Optional: reed bed for anal cleaning water Mason three walls connected to the bottom construction where the anal cleaning waterpipe comes out. On one side put a small pipe so that the water can come out of the bed. Fill the bed with a layer of gravel. Where the water leaves the bed, make a small hole and fill it with gravel too. Just above the outlet put a bigger pipe to prevent clogging. Fill the whole bed with earth and plant some plants. Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. www.ingenieure-ohne-grenzen.org Regionalgruppe Berlin Mavuno Tanzania CaSa –Team 32 Pipe to protect from clogging Exit of water from the bed To avoid clogging of the outlet of the flowering bed, two half pipes were fixed together, pieces of bricks were fixed with concrete to the basin so that the pipe can stand on them, in case of clogging, someone can reach with his arm through the pipe to remove accumulated material from the pipe opening.
