Hygiene Facilities for Remote Camp Systems
Alaska Structures provides portable hygiene facilities for remote jobsites and remote camp systems, including portable showers, latrines, urinals and laundry facilities.
Our portable hygiene facilities feature quick-connect plumbing and water systems for rapid installation. These are available in soft-wall shelters or containerized hygiene facilities. We also offer hygiene facilities in four- to 10-person capacities.
Alaska Latrine Facility™
Popular with mining, oil and gas, and construction companies in remote locations, we configure our extensive range of soft-wall shelters to provide on-site latrine facilities. Designed for rapid installation, the Alaska Latrine-In-A-Box™ is a portable latrine system that quickly expands to create a private bathroom stall and uses quick-connect hose kits.
A 4-person shower facility utilizing an SQ Series™ fabric building from Alaska Structures® offers an ideal solution for small exploration camps, enabling the rapid establishment of sanitary facilities in remote locations.

We design the Alaska Shower-In-A-Box™ system to easily handle 100 showers per day.

Containerized Shower and Latrine Facilities
In addition to soft-wall shelters with portable shower and latrine systems, Alaska Structures provides containerized shower facilities and containerized latrine facilities. Suitable for semipermanent and permanent installations, containerized hygiene facilities from Alaska Structures are fully equipped solutions.
Upon delivery, clients can install the containerized shower and latrine systems on uneven terrain. Built-in lifting and leveling jacks raise the hygiene facility, reducing the need for pre-site construction work.
Removable steps provide easy access to the six individual stalls. A built-in utility room contains the following:
- Multi-fuel hot water heater
- Water filter
- Water pump
- 120-gallon fuel tank
- Discharge pump
- Electrical panel
- Mini-split HVAC system with energy recovery ventilator (ERV)
An electrical panel allows for fast plug-and-play connections without the need for expensive electricians. Containerized shower and latrine facilities from Alaska Structures are available in U.S. and European voltages (60 Hz and 50 Hz, respectively). Quickly connect to a camp’s water system, a municipal water source or water storage tanks using quick-connect hoses.

Each containerized shower facility or containerized latrine facility from Alaska Structures features six private stalls. It also includes a sink, mirror, shelf, gear or towel hooks, exhaust fan and GFCI power outlet. The containerized shower unit also includes a fold-down seat for changing.
An optional containerized shower and latrine facility is available. It includes three individual toilet stalls and three individual shower stalls.
Color choices for Alaska Structures containerized hygiene facilities include white, tan and olive (military green).
Containerized Laundry Facilities
Container-based laundry systems cram as many washer and dryer units as possible into a container. This leaves little to no room for opening folding tables, storing detergents, packing cleaning supplies and using sorting space.
However, Alaska Structures provides a unique solution for on-site laundry facilities.
Our containerized laundry facilities use a soft-wall shelter to provide abundant space for laundry activities. They also feature the convenience of commercial-grade, high-capacity washers and dryers enclosed in a container. All these containerized laundry facility components pack inside the laundry container for easy transport.
Containerized laundry facilities from Alaska Structures are available in U.S. and European voltages (60 Hz and 50 Hz, respectively).
