Plan mobile showers for the actual site
For temporary showers, plan simultaneous use, privacy, changing space, hot water, drainage, cleaning and a safe route to the unit. The local context above helps frame the questions; the exact equipment depends on the project address and operating plan.

Prepare a useful Winston site brief
- Address and access. Share the exact site, placement surface, clearance, turning route and unloading point.
- Operations. State the dates, staffing or visitor pattern, daily volume and any restrictions on deliveries or servicing.
- Utilities. Document available power, potable water, wastewater arrangements and who will approve connections.
- Equipment fit. Describe the function, capacity and workflow so the team can check a proposed unit rather than relying on a category name alone.
