FoodSafe Drains will showcase its drainage evaluation program, helping food and beverage facilities identify risks and prioritize hygienic improvements.
FoodSafe Drains, a division of Global Drain Technologies and leading provider of hygienic drainage solutions, will highlight its comprehensive Drainage Evaluation Program at PACK EXPO International 2026, October 18–21 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. The engineering-led program helps food and beverage processors assess current drainage conditions, prioritize facility-specific improvements, and create a practical roadmap for stronger hygiene, safety, and long-term infrastructure performance. Visitors can learn more at booth #LU-7310.
The Drainage Evaluation Program delivers a structured assessment of current drainage usage, including drain types, installation methods, and maintenance practices in manufacturing and processing environments. Evaluations can extend beyond drains to encompass flooring, underground piping, and below-grade scanning based on each facility’s needs and existing issues. This approach enables processors to address troublesome areas, align drainage with sanitation and safety goals, and support compliance with internal and external standards.
FoodSafe Drains executes the program through Global Drain Technologies engineering teams working directly with customers and, when appropriate, in tandem with GDT Alliance Partners. These partners bring additional expertise in assessment, analysis, and optimization of drainage system performance, ensuring evaluations reflect real-world construction practices and industry best practices in food and beverage manufacturing.
The Drainage Evaluation Program begins with a screening and scope-of-work development phase to define objectives, requirements, and program structure. A discovery phase then reviews existing technical documentation and standard operating procedures, followed by an on-site assessment where drains, lines, and related processes are logged and evaluated by engineering and construction professionals. Using information gathered during pre-screening, discovery, and site visits, FoodSafe Drains and its partners develop a detailed report with recommendations for drainage performance improvements, including budgetary guidance and options for implementation.
For processors seeking ongoing oversight, FoodSafe Drains also offers an annual Evaluation Plan that builds on the initial Drainage Evaluation Program report. The annual program keeps drainage strategies current and supports continuous improvement in hygiene, safety, and uptime.
The Drainage Evaluation Program is developed using experience in manufacturing, installing, and servicing drain scopes of work in food and beverage processing environments and defaults to International Building Codes and the latest published drain standards.
Food and beverage facilities can engage the program to bring consistency, documentation, and accountability to drainage decisions across single or multiple facilities. Each Drainage Evaluation Program is tailored to the specific facility, and multi-site evaluations can be coordinated under one umbrella program for network-wide standardization.
To discuss how the Drainage Evaluation Program can help move your facility from reactive drainage repairs to a more proactive, facility-wide improvement strategy, visit booth #LU-7310 or learn more at https://foodsafedrains.com/drainage-evaluation-program/.
