NYE Floor Drains Design
Water damage can be devastating, especially if it happens on your business building’s floors. The same can be said to floods. In most cases, however, this can be solved with proper floor drainage. However, if your building doesn’t have floor drains installed, or the ones you have are already old, then we at New York Engineers can help you with our floor drain designs.
With our floor drain designs, you can get rid of all those water damages and flooding issues and potentially save tons of money on costly repairs and replacements. Regardless of where you are in Chicago or other nearby cities, we can help you design an efficient floor drainage system that will last a lifetime.
Let us help you with your drainage needs and do away with flooding and water damage issues for good.
Floor Drains Design Process
We know that when left unattended, water damage can quickly and easily deteriorate the interior of your building, including all your furniture, appliances, and other stuff inside the building. Due to this, we make sure that our floor drains designs are designed to prevent water damage from even happening in the first place.
For this, our team will follow a set of procedures so we can fully assess your entire project and formulate an effective design that will meet your needs. Here’s how our process goes:
- We start by asking for as many details regarding your project as possible. As soon as you contact us and seek our services, we will then get into action as soon as we both come to an agreement. As much as possible, we would like to ask accurate details about your building and draining needs so we can have a clear picture of what you really need.
- Once everything is agreed upon, we will then send our inspection team to conduct a site inspection. They will be the one to assess your building and check your building layout. This way, we will be able to formulate a custom floor drain design for your building. Also, since each building’s layout vary, certain factors will come into play such as the location of the drain, its size, and more. This explains why we need to conduct site inspection so we can take such factors into consideration.
- After gathering all the information we need, we will then start with the designing process. During this stage, we will formulate a floor drain design that will meet your drainage needs. Do keep in mind that the number of floor drains required will depend on how many floors your building has as well as its number of rooms.
It is also during this stage that we would like to ask for collaboration with you. We want to make sure that our designs can meet your specifications and be as foolproof as possible. In this stage, the design isn’t yet in its final form. We will require initial feedback from you so that we can fix any possible issues or make any adjustments. - Once we received your initial feedback, we will then make any adjustments or fix any errors which we might have overlooked. After all the revisions and adjustments are completed, we will then run the design on a 3D environment. This way, you will be able to see how your drains will look like once they’re manufactured and installed in your building.
- In this stage, we will finalize the design and make sure that everything is polished. At this point, we trust that you already have an idea on how the design will look like once it’s installed in your building. After you’re satisfied with the presentation, we will then send you the design.
With our floor drains design, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property won’t have to suffer from water damage which can only lead to costly repairs if left unattended. With the help of our professional engineers and designers who have been in the MEP design industry for years, we are confident that we can deliver you the design you need for your floor drainage system.

Why a Floor Drain Design Matters?
Floor drains are an integral part of any building. Unfortunately, most drainage systems installed in most buildings tend to be inefficient at preventing water damage and flooding, and in such cases, poor design is to blame.
With a well-crafted floor drainage design, you can enjoy these benefits:
- Water damage prevention
- Flood-free building
- Less downtime brought on by flooding
By designing your floor drains, you will be able to customize your drainage system and even possibly include several areas which might have been overlooked otherwise. We can help you in that aspect and provide you with a final design which you can use to create a buildable design. This is made possible with the use of the latest tools and techniques in the MEP (manufacturing, engineering, and plumbing) and BIM (building information modeling) industry.
Design Considerations
As we’ve mentioned earlier, there are certain considerations that come into play when designing floor drains. Due to that, we would like to ask you for all the details regarding your project. This way, we will be able to fully assess your building’s draining needs and formulate a working design for that.
During the designing process, we at New York Engineers take into consideration the following:
- Building Regulations
Every drainage installation should abide by international regulations as well as local building codes. The same goes for drainage designs. For this, we at New York Engineers make sure to only create designs that comply with the local codes and regulations. This way, you won’t have to encounter future issues related to drainage regulations.
- Waterproofing Requirements
Apart from local building codes, we also make sure that our designs comply with the waterproofing requirements which ensures that interior spaces are properly protected from unexpected water incursions. However, keep in mind that your choice of material will also come into play.
- Flooring Material
The material used for constructing your building’s floors will directly influence your drainage system. We at New York Engineers make sure this matter is properly met by conducting site inspection on your building. This way, our engineers will be able to know the type of flooring you have and formulate a design that is appropriate with your floors.
- Material and Aesthetics
Just like the material your floors are made of, the material you plan to use for your drainage as well as its aesthetics are also important factors which we consider during the designing phase. This is because certain materials, such as stainless steel and satin nickel bronze, are best used in areas where they can enhance that said area’s aesthetics. On the other hand, materials like ductile iron gratings are meant to be used in industrial settings. By knowing which materials you plan to go for, we will be able to not only create a working floor drain design but an aesthetically appealing one as well.
- Flow Rate
Flow rate refers to the maximum amount of water drained in a gulley. Calculating the flow rate will vary as there are a number of factors which can influence it such as sump capacity, design, outlet size, and more.
At low water heads, the flow rate will be influenced by the grating free area’s size. Meanwhile, at water heads above 50mm, the flow rate will be influenced by either the grating free area or the body free area.
- Pipework
Another important factor we consider during the floor drain design phase is the size and type of pipework. This is because this will allow us to properly design the gullies which go into your drainage system.
- Load Rating
It is important that your drainage system can withstand all anticipated loads. Due to this, the load rating of our floor drain design will vary on the following load rating class:
- Loading K3 – this applies to areas that only allow foot traffic including bathrooms, schools, retail centers, terraces, washrooms, museums, etc.
- Loading L15 – this one applies to areas that receive light vehicular traffic such as domestic drives and cycle ways.
- Loading M15 – this is intended for areas that have heavy vehicular traffic like warehouses, factories, workshops, car parks, and more.
