Hospital Sector
Few sectors of the Canadian economy have experienced the sort of
budget restraint as the health care sector. Canada’s aging population is putting
extraordinary
pressure on costs. The resulting cutbacks are expected to lead to:
• Hospital closures
• Elimination of services
• Increased risk of hospital acquired infections
• Nursing and patient care reductions
• Increased user fees
• Privatization and outsourcing of services outside of basic clinical care
• Potential closure and consolidation of emergency departments
Innovative Approaches to Building Maintenance are Needed
Clearly, hospital administrators and facility managers have to look for Innovative and cost effective ways of maintaining hospitals.
Like residential high-rises, hospitals have large domestic hot water recirculation systems that will eventually develop pinhole leaks. The old approach has been to re-pipe. However, ripping open walls and stripping away pipe insulation may create an asbestos nightmare. Pipe lining avoids that extremely disruptive and costly scenario. Patient care is not disturbed.
Rikos Pipe Lining is the Perfect Solution for Hospitals
In addition to its general benefits pipe lining has a number of advantages that are critical to the hospital environment, including:
• Rapid return to service ensures that high value facilities like operating rooms,
negative pressure areas and diagnostic facilities are able to operate with the absolute minimum of
disruption
• Minimal activity in patients rooms
• No wall openings & no dust to disturb and contaminate sterile environments
• Sensitivity to patients’ needs and comfort.
