A food plant floor has to be seamless, washdown-ready and pass an audit. Abbotsford Concrete installs food-grade epoxy and urethane systems with coved bases for processing facilities, bakeries, dairies and food handling, built to CFIA and USDA compliance and finished so a sanitation crew can actually clean to it. Work is phased around production, with a free written estimate to start.
A food plant floor is judged by what sanitation cannot get to. Every joint, every wall transition, every drain edge is a place bacteria can hide if the floor is not built right, and an audit will find it.
That is why food-grade epoxy flooring is seamless, NSF-compliant and installed as a full system, primer through topcoat, with no shortcuts that compromise the chemistry.
Where the floor meets the wall, coved base flooring systems remove the floor-wall joint entirely, sweeping the surface up into the wall as one continuous, washable plane. It is what makes a floor CFIA and USDA compliant in real-world use, not just on paper.

How it works
How We Install Food Processing Concrete in Abbotsford
Match to compliance
We confirm the standard the floor has to meet, CFIA, USDA or another scheme, the chemicals and washdown routine, and the production zones the system has to cover.
Strip and prep the slab
Old coatings come off, the slab is ground or shot-blasted to a clean profile, moisture is tested, and any failed concrete is repaired before any food-grade system goes down.
Pour the food-grade system
We install the matched epoxy or urethane system to manufacturer spec, primer through topcoat, with proper drainage falls and chemistry the production environment needs.
Cove the base and cure
Coving runs the floor finish up the wall to eliminate the floor-wall joint, the system cures fully, and the area is handed back ready for an audit.
Compliance is in the detail
CFIA and USDA Compliant Flooring, Built Right
CFIA and USDA compliant flooring is not a single product, it is a system built and installed correctly. The right resin chemistry matters, but so does prep, joint detailing, coving and drainage, and any one of them done wrong is what shows up on an audit.
We install the system to the manufacturer's published spec for the use, then detail the coving, drains and equipment penetrations so the floor reads as one continuous, washable surface. It is the same standards-first approach behind our coved-base systems and the wider industrial concrete work.
Compliance, coving, washdown and what food-grade flooring involves in Abbotsford.
Yes, when built right. CFIA and USDA compliant flooring is a full system installed to manufacturer spec, with the chemistry, prep, coving and drainage that real-world audits require, not just an NSF-stamped product.
A coved base sweeps the floor finish up the wall in a smooth curve, removing the right-angle floor-wall joint where bacteria collect. A floor without coving cannot be cleaned to compliance, no matter how good the surface is.
Yes. Food-grade epoxy handles standard washdowns; urethane systems are specified where heat shock, caustic cleaners or constant water are part of the day. We pick the chemistry to your sanitation routine.
Yes. We phase the work zone by zone, often off-shift, so production keeps running while one zone cures fully. The plan is built with your quality and sanitation team before prep starts.
Yes. The detailing around drains, equipment pads and joints is where most food-grade floors actually fail audit, so we install those details as part of the system, not as an afterthought.

What Abbotsford Food Plants Say About Their Food-Grade Floors
Coved-base food-grade floor through the whole production room. Passed our CFIA audit cleanly and the sanitation crew can finally hose it without water finding a joint.

Bakery production lead
★★★★★
Urethane system because of our hot washdowns. Three years of caustic cleaning and the floor has not softened or yellowed anywhere.
S. E.
Dairy plant maintenance
★★★★★
Detailed the drains and equipment pads in the same system as the floor. No edges, no joints, exactly what an audit looks for.
E. K.
Food processing operations
★★★★★
Phased zone by zone around production. We never stopped a line and the new floor was certified before the inspector showed up.
