Project Design Brief
To comply with hygiene standards, aggressive chemicals and very hot water is used to wash down the facility and the processing equipment, requiring a durable, corrosion resistant drainage system. The grates also needed to be strong to cope with forklifts moving heavy loads around the production site.
