When we talk about food safety, we usually focus on surface sanitation and air filtration. But one of the most critical factors is often literally under our feet: the drainage system.

Traditional area drains can hide hundreds of feet of buried, uninspectable piping, which is the perfect breeding ground for Listeria and other contaminants.

The modern solution? A "Whole-Building" approach.

- Slot Drains: The gold standard for hygiene and easy cleaning.
- Trench Drains: High-capacity flow for heavy production zones.
- Area Drains: Compact solutions for specialized washdown spots.

Don't wait for a failed audit or a costly recall to modernize. FoodSafe Drains has the solutions you need.

Outdated drainage systems pose significant risks. They can harbor harmful bacteria, leading to foodborne illnesses and operational disruptions.

In 2023, NYC’s Technical Bulletin 2023-010 changed the game for Fire Service Access Elevators (FSAEs). The mandate is clear: elevators must handle 100 gallons of sprinkler water per minute at every doorway.

Due to this mandate, we are starting to see a nationwide shift toward passive safety systems.

Why is the industry moving away from sump pumps?

- Reliability: No moving parts = no mechanical failure during power outages.
- Compliance: Meeting rigorous IAPMO flow-rate certifications.
- Protection: Keeping shafts dry to ensure first responder and occupant access.

At Global Drain Technologies, we believe safety shouldn't compromise aesthetics. Our narrow-profile slot drains disappear into luxury lobby finishes while exceeding the strictest code requirements.

The legislation requires that specific elevators be equipped with drainage systems capable of diverting at least 100 gallons of water per minute.

When designing threshold drainage systems for FSAE doors, remember the specifics of threshold drain requirements:

Drain length must be no less than the width of the opening, and the drain body must be a minimum of 4 inches wide.

These details are key to achieving the mandated 100 GPM flow rate.

Accessibility is non-negotiable. A key design requirement for elevator lobby drainage is that the grate must be heel proof in accordance with ADA requirements. Modern slot drain designs ensure that wheels, canes, and walkers won't get caught. Functionality meets inclusive design!
