Type of site - general purpose moorage facility, no existing toilet facilities near by

Design criteria - create a small floating toilet for both men and women

Solution - A Barge will be built by the Nanaimo Port Authority to the design provided by Go Green, with men's and women's toilets and a control room between them housing the pump motor for a Go Green system 1. The tanks themselves will be below the barge deck, with effluent to be dispersed into the harbor. (tank design as for fisheries camp)
