President
February 2016
Date:
So the start of a new year is here. I for one can’t wait to see what the New
Year brings us. So your board is working on some special events for the Time:
membership throughout the next year.
February 3, 2016
Social - 6:00 pm
Dinner - 7:00 pm
We are looking at bringing back Monte Carlo night once again in
conjunction with the Holiday Party. It was such a great success two years
ago we thought why not try it again. I am going to look into Universal
Studios for the location and hope to have this worked out in the next couple
months. Our reason for having it there, is so after the party we can let you
party animals lose in the park to do whatever you want to do. Should make
for a nice night for everyone.
We are also working on a few other ideas see below please let us know if
any of them appeals to you:
• Bowling Night out
• The Hollywood Bowl event again
• Comedy Club night
• K2 karting event
• Going to a Basketball game
• Going to a Baseball game
• Adding another family picnic at the beach
These are just a few ideas, but we would love to hear from you. This is
your ASPE chapter and we want to make it fun for everyone this year.

Commercial restroom design considerations By
John A. Clark, P.E.
John is wrote about the design considerations must
address the number of users, durability, water savings,
serviceability, initial and operational costs, and have
Americans Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility. The
design team needs to meet with the owners to define the
economic quality of the fixtures used as, “good, better
and best.” Then, the facility must be designed as per the
current and local Codes.
In his article, he wrote about the restroom odor. All
restrooms have floor drain to carry away any water
overflows from a toilet, sink or urinal. The simple
solutions are to have the restroom cleaners add a little
water to the drain at each cleaning. Other choices
are to add mineral oil to the drain water to reduce
evaporation, provide trap primers, or use memory
rubber trap seals. The drain location should be under
a stall partition to avoid any one from peeing into the
drain if the restroom is very busy. The drain trap tends
to go dry over time and sewer gas contributes to odor
complaints. In his conclusion, the design team should
have discussions with the owner, owner’s maintenance
staff, available contractors, and local code officials to
define the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) for
any certifications, cost or operational savings, and
target visual goals. Settle on a level of “good, better and
best” for the design, construction and operational goals.
It is very interest to read and we recommend that all
should read.
That is all for this month. See you all in next meeting.
As usual, do not hesitate to e-mail any board member
for any particular topics that you may want to see in any
of our technical programs. Also check our Technical
Calendar for upcoming Technical Sessions.
