A Ctesiphon arch VIP latrine
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Peter Glover, Ned BreslinThis paper describes and illustrates the Arch VIP toilet structures that are currently being developed in rural
Zululand (Nongoma KwaZulu). The structures, in the form of a catenary, are produced entirely of unreinforced
mortar plastered hessian which is formed by temporary wooden supports. The overall cost of the structures is
remarkably low, and their strength and durability outstanding.
