Event agencies from the Expert Center Event Marketing of the ACC (the trade association of communication agencies in Belgium) have joined forces to offer an efficient and low-cost solution for handwashing with respect to social distancing. The agencies developed safe and temporary sinks, built with the Schoeller Allibert MaxiLog® as a base, that has been placed in various schools, cities, companies, and on construction sites.
The Box Wash™® is a mobile sink with four water points built with the MaxiLog as a base. Four people can wash their hands at the same time, from a safe distance with running water. Alcohol gel as an alternative is also possible (no need for water supply & drainage). The units can be used both indoor and outdoor in any environment such as parks, schools, businesses, and squares. The mobile and compact package is easy to put together and can be set up and connected in less than five minutes.“Since the start of the corona crisis all events have come to a standstill and, straight away, our sector was able to assist hospitals and pharmacies with adapted infrastructure, signage, and equipment. We have the know-how and the means to provide targeted solutions in a very short time for the most demanding settings and environments. It is a logical consequence that we are now also using our experience and manpower to make schools, cities, and businesses accessible again,” says Mathias Kerckhof of Fast Forward Events. With this, the agencies are once again sending a strong signal that the event sector wants to get out of this crisis by working.
More information: The Box Wash™® has been placed all over Belgium by Conrad Consulting & Fast Forward Events.
The Box Wash™® was invented by Fast Forward Events.
