Drainage and Hygiene Compliance
Effective drainage is critical in facilities where hygiene, cleanliness and product safety must be maintained.
In food manufacturing and high-care production areas, poorly designed drainage can lead to standing water and contamination risks.
It can also create operational issues that affect hygiene management.
Ambrey Baker supports clients with drainage assessments, upgrades and installations for modern industrial environments.
With 40 years of experience working in food production, pharmaceutical and temperature-controlled facilities, our team understands the practical challenges of managing wastewater while maintaining strict hygiene standards.
We develop drainage work with reference to recognised UK design guidance and project-specific hygiene requirements. This includes gravity drainage design principles under BS EN 12056. It also covers hygiene expectations within controlled food production environments, including Food Standards Agency guidance and BRCGS requirements where applicable.
We design and install hygienic drainage systems that integrate with the wider building structure and floor construction.
We coordinate drainage installations with floor finishes, resin flooring systems and internal layouts. This helps the finished environment support hygiene management and efficient daily operations. Poor integration between floors and drainage can cause standing water and avoidable hygiene risk. For this reason, our team plans drainage infrastructure alongside internal finishes and surrounding building works.
Many upgrades take place within live facilities where operations must continue. Our teams have extensive experience delivering these works safely within operational food factories, cold stores and processing environments while maintaining strict hygiene controls.
Ambrey Baker provides practical drainage solutions that help clients support hygiene compliance, protect product integrity and keep facilities safe, clean and operational.
