Grease Interceptor Installation and Kitchen Floor Reconstruction

Diana’s Shawarma

Diana’s Shawarma, a popular restaurant in Miami-Dade County, required the installation of a new grease interceptor system to comply with DERM and Florida Building Code requirements. Vasani Consulting was contracted to perform the installation of the new system, including all plumbing work, concrete reconstruction, and flooring replacement inside the existing kitchen.

The work was performed in a tight commercial space, requiring careful coordination to complete the installation efficiently while minimizing disruption to the restaurant’s daily operations.

Placement of New Grease and Solids Interceptors

The hydromechanical grease interceptor and solids interceptor were installed below the floor and leveled to maintain proper gravity flow. Cleanouts and a sampling port were added downstream to meet inspection and maintenance requirements.

Structural Reinforcement

After the plumbing inspection was approved, a vapor barrier was installed, followed by a rebar grid to reinforce the concrete pad. This step ensures long-term durability and structural integrity for the restored kitchen floor

Concrete Pour and Flooring Replacement


Once the reinforcement was complete, concrete was poured to restore the floor slab. After curing, new tile flooring was installed to match the existing finish and maintain a clean, functional appearance. Access to the interceptor covers was preserved for future maintenance and cleaning.

Outcome

The new grease interceptor system was successfully installed, inspected, and approved by the local authorities. Diana’s Shawarma now operates with a code-compliant grease waste management system, designed to effectively separate solids and FOG (fats, oils, and grease) before discharge to the sanitary sewer.
