Kentucky Shower Trailer Planning Scenarios for Floods, Storms, and Outages
Worked examples, clearly illustrative, that show how we size units, utilities, and terms.
Key points
- These scenarios are illustrations for planning, not completed jobs.
- Each one starts from headcount per shift, utilities, and the ground.
- Prices shown are starting rates from our price list; delivery is quoted by address.
The examples below are made up to show how a quote comes together. They aren't past projects, and the numbers are assumptions. Real jobs will be added here only when a customer agrees.
Planning scenario, not a past job
A flood shelter in a Hazard school gym
Assume 80 residents sleep in a gym after a flood like the one NWS Jackson recorded in July 2022, and the building's showers are out. At about 10 people per stall over the evening, eight stalls work, with one accessible: the Luxury Shower-Restroom Combination Trailer (8 Individual Stalls + 1 ADA). The water main is down, so the quote adds a Water Tank and hauling. A ramp takes 4 to 6 hours, so it goes in first.
Planning scenario, not a past job
A storm recovery staging yard near Mayfield
Assume 45 line workers stage in a fairground for six weeks after a tornado. Using OSHA's ratio of one shower per 10 employees of each sex, an all-male crew needs five showers. The 22ft Luxury Shower-Restroom Combination Trailer (6 Individual Stalls) gives six stalls with toilets; a monthly lease covers the job.
Planning scenario, not a past job
A two-week outage near Glendale
Assume a contractor brings 25 people for a 12-day outage at a plant in Hardin County. The 8–14 day rate applies. The 13ft Luxury Shower-Restroom Combination Trailer (3 Individual Stalls) handles about 30 people across shifts; a Restroom Trailer near the work area cuts walking time.
