Precast Concrete Washroom Chimney Heights Park, Surrey BC

Durable, low-maintenance washroom solutions for parks and public spaces.

Concrete washroom built in Surrey

Once more, Sanderson Concrete built a brand new custom precast concrete washroom building for the City of Surrey. This particular one is located in Chimney Heights Park. We consulted with JIM Architecture and the City of Surrey Parks, Recreation and Culture. This washroom building required wheelchair access to be functional for everyone.

The precast concrete As in the past, the precast concrete building would be cast and assembled at Sanderson Concrete’s plant. Assembly of the building took place in two stages: The base unit consisted of the four exterior walls and the three interior walls, INCLUDING FLOOR – weighed 30,000 lb. 

The roof unit, which consisted of the four trapezoid roof panels and the two interior panels, which made the service room inaccessible to the public, weighed 15,000 lb. The weight of the entire structure, when complete, would reach 45,000 lb.

Behind the Build

From Precast Panels to a Complete Public Facility

This precast concrete washroom was assembled as a complete building system, bringing together structural panels, welded connections, mechanical services, durable fixtures and roof construction before final delivery.

The fabrication process allows major components to be coordinated in a controlled environment before the finished structure reaches the park.

01 Structural Assembly

Building the Precast Concrete Shell

Fabrication begins with individual precast concrete wall panels. Each panel is positioned and aligned to establish the shape, dimensions and primary enclosure of the washroom building.

  • Individual precast wall panel placement
  • Controlled alignment during assembly
  • Architectural wall finish integrated into the structure
02 Structural Connections

Bringing the Building Together

Once the wall panels are in position, embedded connections and fabrication details secure the individual precast pieces into a unified building shell.

  • Embedded connection details
  • Structural welding
  • Precast enclosure assembled off-site
03 Mechanical & Interior

Building Services Installed Before Delivery

Plumbing, mechanical systems and interior components are coordinated within the precast structure before the building leaves the manufacturing environment.

  • Dedicated mechanical service area
  • Heat-traced water lines for cold weather
  • Stainless steel public-use fixtures
Technical Details

Built for Demanding Public Environments

Material selection and building-system details support security, durability, maintenance and year-round operation.

01 Anti-Graffiti Exterior Finish

Sandstone precast wall panels are protected for demanding public-space applications.

02 Stainless Steel Components

Weld plates, gutter, sink, mirror and fixtures use durable materials.

03 Secure Service Room

Mechanical services are contained within a dedicated secure area.

04 Year-Round Operation

Insulation and heat-traced lines support operation through winter conditions.

05 Natural Light

A large skylight brings natural daylight into the precast enclosure.

06 Durable Interior Finish

Polished concrete and robust materials help reduce long-term maintenance.

Stage 04 / Building Enclosure

Final Roof Assembly

Roof construction completes the building enclosure and prepares the precast washroom for finishing, transportation and installation at the project site.

Pre-assembly of the precast concrete washroom building allowed for electrical and mechanical installations to be done off-site. While the gate assembly, including hidden rollers, were pre-fitted before sending out for powder coating and installed in-house prior to shipping to the site.
