Case Study: Meat Processing Facility

Aqualine by Alway supplied and installed stainless steel drainage, kerbing, bollards, and bump rails for a meat processing facility in Northern England, working alongside the resin flooring contractor to deliver a hygienic, high-performance solution.

Project Overview

Aqualine by Alway partnered with a specialist resin flooring contractor to deliver a complete stainless steel solution for a major meat processing facility in the North of England. The project aimed to ensure the site met the rigorous hygiene and durability standards required in meat production environments.

Scope of Work

Working in tandem with the flooring contractor, Aqualine was responsible for the manufacture and installation of:

  • Stainless Steel Drainage Channels

     

  • Stainless Steel Kerbing

     

  • Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Bollards

     

  • Floor-Mounted Stainless Steel Bump Rails

     

These elements were designed to integrate seamlessly with the resin floor system, forming a continuous, hygienic surface throughout the processing environment.

Project Requirements

The facility required a high-performance solution that could:

  • Withstand heavy equipment and constant foot traffic

  • Resist corrosion from frequent washdowns and cleaning agents

  • Meet food safety and hygiene standards (including seamless floor-to-wall transitions)

  • Protect infrastructure from impact damage

Our Contribution

Aqualine designed and fabricated all stainless steel components in-house, ensuring precise compatibility with the resin flooring system.

Close coordination with the resin contractor allowed for a smooth installation schedule and ensured that all kerbs and drainage systems were perfectly integrated before the resin pour.

Key features included:

  • Custom drainage layouts to suit the facility’s flow and equipment positioning

  • Stainless steel kerbing designed to encapsulate resin and allow for an easy-clean, watertight seal

  • Protective bollards and bump rails installed in high-impact areas such as loading bays and processing lines

Client Outcome

The finished facility now benefits from a robust, hygienic environment that meets all operational and compliance standards. By working collaboratively with the resin flooring team, Aqualine helped deliver a seamless and long-lasting infrastructure solution.
