Food Safe Drains
Better Drainage. Better Facility Performance.
JDL Builders is proud to be an Alliance Partner with FoodSafe Drains, combining food-and-beverage construction expertise with purpose-built hygienic drainage solutions.
For food and beverage manufacturers, drainage is more than a plumbing consideration. It can influence sanitation, water management, employee safety, facility condition and the long-term performance of production infrastructure.
Through our alliance with FoodSafe Drains, JDL helps clients evaluate drainage needs, select the right solution and provide professional installation. From targeted drain replacements to renovations, expansions, and larger capital projects, we can provide a complete drainage solution.
A Complete Approach to Facility Drainage
The right solution, backed by specialized expertise and experienced installation.
JDL brings an understanding of active food and beverage manufacturing environments, construction, facility infrastructure and project execution. FoodSafe Drains brings specialized expertise in hygienic drainage design and purpose-built drainage systems for food and beverage applications.
Together, we can help clients consider the complete drainage application, including:
- Existing drainage conditions
- Sanitation and cleanability
- Water and solids management
- Floor slopes and surrounding infrastructure
- Traffic and equipment loads
- Production requirements
- Drain location and configuration
- Renovation and retrofit constraints
- Installation requirements
- Future facility needs
Helping ensure the right drainage solution is selected based on the facility, application and operating environment, not simply what was there before.
Drainage Solutions for Food & Beverage Facilities
Different areas of a facility create different drainage demands. Through FoodSafe Drains, JDL clients have access to a range of purpose-built drainage systems and supporting components.
Slot Drain Systems
A streamlined linear drainage solution for hygienic food and beverage environments. Slot drain configurations can support processing areas, production lines, washdown areas, equipment zones and other applications requiring efficient linear drainage.
Trench Drain Systems
Heavy-duty drainage for demanding applications where greater flow capacity, solids management, frequent sanitation or production traffic need to be considered.
Area and Hub Drains
Point drainage solutions for targeted locations throughout the facility, including equipment drainage, localized washdown areas and applications where a linear system is not required.
Catch Basins and Strainers
Supporting components that can help manage solids entering the drainage system while providing accessible components for sanitation and maintenance
Drainage Accessories and Supporting Systems
Depending on the application, a complete drainage solution may include cleaning or flushing systems, pipes, traps and other supporting components. JDL can work with FoodSafe Drains to help determine the appropriate configuration for the facility.
Built Around Your Priorities
FoodSafe Drains develops drainage specifically for food and beverage manufacturing environments.
Their systems incorporate hygienic design principles intended to support cleanability, drainage performance, and the demanding sanitation requirements of food production facilities.
For JDL clients, that means access to drainage solutions developed around the realities of food production rather than adapting conventional drainage products to a demanding manufacturing environment.
Drainage Solutions for Every Stage
Existing Facilities
A damaged, difficult-to-clean, or poorly performing drainage system does not always require the same solution as the one originally installed. JDL can help review the existing condition, surrounding floor infrastructure and operational requirements before developing an improvement strategy.
Renovations and Retrofits
Equipment relocation, increased washdown, production changes, sanitation improvements and facility modernization can create new drainage requirements. JDL can coordinate drainage improvements with the surrounding construction work.
Capital Projects and Expansions
Considering drainage early in project planning can help reduce costly modifications later. JDL can coordinate drainage requirements alongside flooring, concrete, equipment layouts, utilities and other facility infrastructure.
New Construction
For new food and beverage facilities, JDL can engage specialized FoodSafe Drains resources during planning to help align drainage infrastructure with the intended production environment.
The Value of Our Alliance
One relationship. Specialized drainage expertise. Complete project support.
Our Alliance Partnership gives JDL clients access to FoodSafe Drains’ specialized drainage knowledge while maintaining JDL as the construction and facility infrastructure partner.
This creates a coordinated approach to:
- Drainage evaluation
- Solution selection
- Planning and budgeting
- Drainage design support
- Removal and replacement
- Concrete and flooring coordination
- Installation
- Facility modifications
- Capital project integration
- Post-installation facility support
Rather than treating drainage as an isolated component, we consider how it interacts with the surrounding facility. This is particularly important in operating food and beverage plants where production schedules, sanitation requirements, traffic, floor conditions, equipment and operational continuity all need to be considered.
Let’s Improve Your Facility Drainage
Drainage conditions can develop gradually. Standing water, damaged concrete, deteriorating drain interfaces, difficult-to-clean areas, insufficient capacity or changes to production can indicate that an existing drainage system should be reviewed.
JDL can help clients evaluate these conditions as part of ongoing facility improvements or a dedicated drainage review. The goal is to understand the condition, determine an appropriate solution and develop a practical path forward that considers operations, sanitation, infrastructure and capital priorities.
