Waterless Single User Restroom at the Las Huertas Picnic Area – Tijeras, New Mexico

Placitas is a census designated place in Sandoval County, not far from Albuquerque. In fact, Placitas is part of the Albuquerque metropolitan area with its location only 25 miles to the north. Albuquerque is the New Mexico’s largest city.

Just to the south of Placitas is the Sandia Mountain range along State Route 65 which cuts through the forested mountain area. There are many peaks and trailheads along the route through the Sandia Mountain range in New Mexico.

Some of the peaks include Palomas Peak, Sandia Crest, Capulin Snow Play Site, Sandia Peak Ski Area, and Tree Springs Trailhead.

One site in particular, the Las Huertas Picnic Area, is a very popular place to picnic and enjoy Las Huertas Creek which meanders through the site.

There are trails and footbridges that go across the creek and through the forested area to various picnic sites. The Las Huertas Picnic Area was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. There is a large picnic pavilion at the site which was used as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp from 1931 to 1941.

The elevation of the site is 7,600 feet and located in the Cibola National Forest which is owned and operated by the USDA Forest Service.

The Las Huertas Picnic Area is one of several relaxing picnic areas located in the scenic Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, making it a popular area for visitors to enjoy a getaway in nature.

The surrounding aspen and fir forest and mountains provide an ideal location for sightseeing, hiking, bird watching, or many other outdoor activities.

Waterless Restroom with Stone Wainscoting

Romtec designed and supplied a concrete block restroom building that provides four waterless (vault toilet) ADA single user bathrooms with private entries. This building also includes an exterior stone wainscot for added style to this affordable restroom facility at the Las Huertas Picnic Area.

The restroom building at Las Huertas Picnic Area in New Mexico features an aluminum shake roof, kick resistant metal vents, Lexan windows, vent pipes, a mechanical room, with a precision ground split face concrete block wall that blends well into the scenic mountains and surrounding forest.

Romtec was happy to be a part of this iconic Las Huertas Picnic Area while providing a unique restroom designed to fit with this beautiful outdoor area in the Sandia Mountain range, within the Cibola National Forest.

We had an awesome experience with Romtec and were very pleased (especially) about the communication that was given to us. The project went by very smoothly and we are now off to our next adventures. The finished product was everything and more that was promised by Romtec.

That Memorial Park Project is one of our favorites too – it truly made a positive impact for our visitors, and we will continue to keep Romtec in mind as opportunities to collaborate come up!

I have to mention that aside from the products Romtec supplies and the workmanship of the subcontractors (Ken and crew), I’m also very impressed with your responsiveness to issues – you’re a far cry from the usual taillight warranty.

You get what you pay for. Romtec provided the most perfect, seamless, flawless project I could have imagined. I would use Romtec 100 times over and will not consider any other options moving forward. You were able to beat my original budget and expectations. Everyone involved was great from sales to construction management, to the construction team themselves.

I was actually out today looking at the baseball park and your building is absolutely awesome.  Our buddy and all star baseball families are going to love it!

We were very impressed with Romtec on this project. The entire team was professional, forward thinking, wiling to collaborate and compromise, and the structure turned out beautiful. We definitely got what we paid for (and then some!).

Ken Perry’s crew who installed it did a fantastic job, very organized and professional, and efficient install.

If I were to do this again, I would no doubt hire Romtec and its subcontractors to do the installation. Hindsight is always 20/20 and I learned a valuable lesson that I will hire Romtec’s certified installers to do the construction.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Dan Keagy (Romtec’s assistant construction manager). He in my opinion went above and beyond to solve our problems and problems that were not necessarily his or Romtec’s to solve. He is a great guy and great resource for Romtec. Overall, the biggest thing to me was the service after the sale. Romtec didn’t just make the sale and move on, but they supported us through a very long and arduous construction process.

Romtec was phenomenal when it came to service after the sale. They were available anytime there were questions. In addition, there were some issues with missing materials. Even though it was not Romtec’s fault for the missing materials, the were more than willing to send us the missing materials to get the project done. Romtec even sent out a representative to tour the site to give firsthand recommendations on how to proceed.
