Custom Factory Drainage Built For Your Needs
Effluent waste drainage is an important but often overlooked aspect of many food factory expansion or upgrade projects. The majority of food processing plants will require some level of drainage, dependent on whether the product is wet or dry, and the level of equipment washdown included in the production process.
Inadequate drainage can become a health and safety nightmare, as well as the cost of downtime due to blockages. Additionally, depending on the products being manufactured inadequate drainage can quickly clog with fat deposits from the manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and able to withstand acidic cleaning agents, hot washdown water and fat-laden effluent without deteriorating. Unlike plastic or cast-iron alternatives, it meets the hygienic standards required for BRCGS and SALSA audits, making it the most reliable material for food, beverage and pharmaceutical drainage systems.
Yes. Oakley designs and installs drainage for both high-care and low-care environments. They account for factors such as wet vs dry product types, washdown volume, temperature and effluent type during the design phase, ensuring each zone of your factory has a compliant, fit-for-purpose drainage solution.
Poor drainage leads to standing water (slip hazards), blockages from fat and debris (production downtime) and water-borne bacteria spread across production areas (failed audits and product safety risks). These issues can result in H&S enforcement action, failed BRCGS or SALSA audits and costly production stoppages. Oakley’s specialist food industry expertise prevents these problems from the outset.
Yes. All drainage systems are designed to comply with UK health and safety regulations and align with BRCGS and SALSA certification standards. Oakley is also CHAS accredited, independently verifying their health and safety competence. Their integrated approach, combining drainage with resin flooring, eliminates gaps that could harbor bacteria or compromise audit compliance.
