Drainage for Food Processing Facilities

Water buildup in food processing facilities isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a liability. Flooding, contamination risks, and regulatory violations can shut down operations and drive up costs. ABT, Inc. delivers sanitary drainage solutions designed to keep food processing plants, industrial kitchens, or any production facility running clean, dry, and compliant

Stop Water Problems Before They Shut You Down

Food processing facilities generate large volumes of water from both production processes and cleaning washdowns. Without proper drainage, excess water creates:

  • Slip and contamination risks – Standing water promotes bacterial growth and increases the risk of workplace accidents.
  • Equipment and structural damage – Water pooling can degrade flooring coatings, damage concrete, and create long-term maintenance costs.
  • Regulatory non-compliance – Facilities must adhere to FDA, USDA, and FSMA sanitation requirements, which mandate proper water management.
  • Operational disruptions – Poor drainage slows workflows, affecting productivity and sanitation efficiency.

ABT, Inc.’s drainage solutions for food processing facilities are engineered to eliminate these issues, ensuring sanitary, efficient, and regulation-compliant water management.

Built for Sanitation, Strength, and Compliance

Food production facilities push drainage systems to the limit. Harsh cleaning chemicals, extreme temperatures, and high-pressure washdowns demand drainage that won’t fail under pressure. ABT’s trench drainage systems for food processing is designed for:

  • Efficient Water Removal – Eliminates standing water to prevent bacterial growth and safety hazards.
  • High-Load Capacity – Supports heavy equipment, forklifts, and constant foot traffic.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Built to withstand aggressive sanitation chemicals and extreme moisture exposure.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Designed to meet FDA, USDA, and FSMA standards for food-safe infrastructure.
  • Long-Term Performance – Low-maintenance systems that reduce repair costs and downtime.
