In the food and beverage industry, maintaining stringent safety and hygiene standards is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a critical component of operational success. As a specialized flooring and drainage company, we understand that the right flooring solution is foundational to ensuring these standards are consistently met. Here’s how our processes are engineered to deliver safety and hygiene, protecting both your products and your people.
1. Prioritising Slip Resistance for Enhanced Worker Safety
Within food manufacturing plants, slip-and-fall incidents are among the most common occupational hazards. Spills of liquids, oils, and food substances on the floors create extremely hazardous conditions for employees.Our approach involves designing flooring systems with customized slip resistance to cater to different areas of your facility, from high-traffic zones to wet process areas.
Our Detailed Process:
Assessment: We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your facility to understand traffic patterns, moisture exposure, and specific operational requirements.
Customisation: Based on this assessment, we carefully choose the appropriate non-slip aggregate and integrate it into the flooring material during installation.
Testing: Upon completion of the installation, we conduct rigorous slip resistance testing to ensure that your flooring meets the necessary safety standards, providing you with peace of mind.
2. Seamless, Non-Porous Flooring for Impeccable Hygienic Conditions
The control of food and beverage contamination demands the implementation of best practices. Cracks, crevices, and porous surfaces create breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, and other contaminants, thus posing a threat to product safety. Our seamless, non-porous flooring systems establish an impermeable barrier that is easily cleaned and sanitized.
Our Detailed Process:
Preparation: We start by thoroughly preparing the concrete substrate, including the removal of old coatings and repairing any imperfections.
Application: Our self-levelling, nonporous flooring material is seamlessly poured without joints where bacteria might proliferate. Installation of
Coving: To maximise hygiene, coved skirting seamlessly connects the floor and wall, ensuring effective cleaning and eliminating any opportunity for bacteria buildup at the floor-wall junction.
3. Effective Drainage Solutions to Maintain Optimal Conditions
Effective drainage is crucial in any food processing environment, as standing water can compromise the integrity of the floor and promote the growth of bacteria and pathogens. Our approach involves integrating the draining system with the flooring design to facilitate smooth flow and prevent any pooling of water.
Our Detailed Process:
Custom Design: We tailor drainage systems to the layout of your facility and the patterns of water usage, ensuring optimal flow.
Integration: The drainage systems are laid alongside the floor to achieve a perfect fit and seal, preventing leaks and efficiently directing liquids or waste to appropriate disposal channels.
Ease of Maintenance: We ensure that our drains are designed to be easily accessible and cleaned, minimising downtime while upholding ongoing hygiene standards
4. Long-Term Durability and Safety for Sustained Protection
Safety and hygiene are not short-term fixes but long-term solutions that must withstand the demands of a busy manufacturing environment. Our flooring systems are engineered for durability, offering resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and thermal shock.
Our Detailed Process:
Material Selection: We opt for high-performance materials such as polyurethane and epoxy, known for their hard-wearing durability in harsh food manufacturing conditions. Installation
Expertise: Our team of experts ensures that flooring is laid to the highest standards, addressing minute details to prevent premature wear and tear.
Aftercare Support: We provide continued support and maintenance advice to ensure that your flooring and drainage systems consistently meet the elevated standards set for safety and hygiene.
In Conclusion, selecting the right floor and drainage solutions is pivotal in the food and beverage industry, where safety and hygiene are paramount. Our specialised processes, ranging from slip-resistant flooring to seamless, non-porous installations, are meticulously designed with protection in mind—for your facility, your products, and your personnel. By investing in our tailored solutions, you are establishing a new standard for safety and hygiene within your industry.
