Abstract

The design of sanitary infrastructure in food processing facilities represents a critical intersection of engineering, public health, and operational efficiency. This study examines engineering solutions that enhance food safety, drainage systems, and plant hygiene in high-risk food processing environments. Through a comprehensive analysis of contemporary sanitary design principles, drainage engineering, and hygienic infrastructure systems, this research identifies key factors that contribute to effective contamination control and regulatory compliance. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining systematic literature review, case study analysis, and comparative evaluation of sanitary infrastructure implementations across different food processing sectors. Results indicate that integrated sanitary design approaches, incorporating proper slope design, material selection, and hygienic zoning, significantly reduce microbial contamination risks and improve operational efficiency. The findings demonstrate that facilities implementing comprehensive sanitary infrastructure solutions experience up to 45% reduction in contamination incidents and 30% improvement in cleaning efficiency. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sanitary engineering by providing evidence-based design recommendations and highlighting the economic and safety benefits of proper infrastructure investment. The practical implications extend to food safety managers, facility designers, and regulatory bodies seeking to enhance food safety outcomes through engineering controls.
