Produce Packer Floor Drains
Floor drains across a produce packer's docks, processing areas and coolers were holding water. We cleared them overnight, after production, and put them on a schedule.
The Challenge
Floor drains at a Central Valley produce packing facility were holding water across the docks, processing areas and coolers.
Standing water on a production floor is a food-safety and slip problem, and the plant could not stop production to have it fixed.
What We Did
- Started at 7:30 PM, after production ended, and worked through every problem drain.
- Hydro-jetted each drain three to six times, then camera-inspected the lines to confirm they were clear.
- Pulled metal hardware out of the P-traps and blasted out concrete debris lodged in another line.
- Put the drains on a scheduled jetting program.
The Result
By the next scheduled visit, the catch basins held very little debris. Three lines are flagged for a camera inspection on a day those areas are shut down, so any damage is found before it backs up.

Bottling Plant CIP Room Ventilation
A bottling plant's clean-in-place room lost all six of its fans to drives locked out on alarms. We traced the faults, reprogrammed the drives and got the room breathing again.
Winery Cold Room & Control Rooms
A winery's walk-in cooler had climbed to 49°F while the units cooling its boiler control and motor control rooms failed. We brought all three rooms back to temperature.
