- Replacement Costs: Assumed 4 vandalism incidents per year, requiring replacement each time. Average price of a stainless steel soap dispenser: $69/unit (based on market rates for commercial-grade dispensers, 2024). Annual cost: 4 x $69 = $276/year; 5-year cost: $1,380. Vandalism frequency sourced from Australian Institute of Criminology reports on public vandalism, estimating 3-5 incidents/year for poorly designed units in urban settings—we’ve used 4 as a realistic average.
- Installation Costs: Initial installation: $100; each replacement requires reinstallation at $100 (4/year for 4 years after initial installation = 16 reinstallations). Total: $100 + (16 x $100) = $1,700. For Fortress Dispensers, installation is a one-time cost of $100 (labour rates based on Safe Work Australia data, 2024, averaging $80-$120/hour for fixture installation; we’ve used $100/hour, assuming 1 hour per installation).
- Wasted Soap: Assumed 4 incidents/year due to vandalism, with $10/incident (a 1-litre cartridge at $10, market rate for bulk soap, 2024, entirely wasted due to leakage or damage). Annual cost: 4 x $10 = $40/year; 5-year cost: $200. With Fortress Dispensers, no vandalism means no wasted soap.
- Cleanup from Damage: Assumed 4 incidents/year, with $30/incident (1 hour of labour at $30/hour, based on Australian cleaning industry rates, Fair Work Australia, 2024). Annual cost: 4 x $30 = $120/year; 5-year cost: $600. With Fortress Dispensers, no vandalism means no cleanup costs.
- Ongoing Soap: $100/year when not damaged (3-4 litres at $25/litre, market rate, 2024). With 4 replacements/year, dispenser unavailable for 4 months (1 month/replacement); soap used for 8 months/year. Annual cost: $100 x (8/12) = $66.67/year; 5-year cost: $333. For Fortress Dispensers, soap is included in the rental fee.
