Animal Facility Drainage Grates

Animal hospitals require a highly efficient drainage system to maintain a sanitary environment for pets. Corrosion-resistant trench grates support drainage at veterinary hospitals by allowing water, urine, and other fluids to flow quickly into the trench drain. This prevents pooling on the floors, which can create a slip or trip hazard for workers and animals. 

Floor drains fitted with high-quality trench grates also reduce odors and facilitate easy cleaning protocols, as waste can flow directly into the underground piping system. Our high-quality grates are specially made with materials that do not deteriorate over time, which allows veterinary hospitals to minimize maintenance costs and ensure a clean and odor-free environment for pets in their care.

Due to all the different animals and their habitat requirements at zoos, having effective drainage is critical. Trench drains with corrosion-resistant grates help manage large volumes of water from rain, cleaning activities, and animal enclosures. 

Open trench drains along walkways and enclosures allow for efficient removal of waste and excess water, reducing the risk of disease and foul odors. The slope of the trench and the slots in the grates facilitate proper drainage and prevent water from stagnating and creating a breeding ground for pests. The durable materials our grates are made with also withstand the weight and impact of heavy animals, which ensures they can remain a part of your zoo’s drainage system for years to come.

On farms, waste and water runoff management is vital for both animal health and environmental protection. Trench drains equipped with sturdy, long-lasting grates facilitate effective drainage on concrete floors and other surfaces by directing liquids away from animal living areas. This helps maintain dry and clean conditions and can help reduce the risk of disease among animals.

In addition, trench grates also make cleaning protocols easier to follow, as waste can be quickly hosed down and flushed into the drainage system. Individual drains positioned strategically around animal enclosures can collect water and waste, directing them into the main underground piping — preventing waterlogging and maintaining the integrity of the building.

Kennels benefit immensely from well-designed drainage systems that incorporate durable trench grates. Kennel trench drains specifically help with daily floor cleanings by making it easier to flush out urine, feces, and hair. The grates cover the channels and allow waste to be hosed directly into the drains without getting stuck, which helps reduce the smell and maintains a sanitary environment for the animals.

This setup not only keeps the kennels clean but also reduces the risk of animals and workers encountering wet, slippery surfaces. Effective drainage helps lower the cost and effort of maintaining the kennel facility, as durable materials ensure longevity and reduce the need to frequently pay for replacements.
