Textile Reinforced Concrete Toilet Unit

TRC toilet is easy-to-assemble toilet units using textile reinforced concrete (TRC) panels. TRC is an innovative building material - comprising of fine-grained high quality cementitious matrix and nonmetallic alkali-resistant textile, and has already established its mark in the global level as an alternate construction material. The toilets are built using precast TRC panels, manufactured using textile reinforced concrete prototyping technology developed at CSIR-SERC.

• Contribution to achieve the Swachh Bharat mission of the Government of India to construct large number of toilets within the next couple of years
• Holds great potential to solve the problems related to lack of toilets in the interior regions of India
• Contribution to infrastructure development in rural and urban areas
