Environmentally approved epoxy
lined pipes
By implementing the RIKOS solution, your pipes are no longer vulnerable to pinhole leaks because our epoxy lining process removes the possibility of erosion.
The Rikos solution also eliminates your water flow restrictions and removes the possibility of corrosive particles in your water. Your water now flows through and environmentally approved epoxy lined pipe which will never leak or erode.
Step1.
Dry and heat pipes with pressurized air.
Step 2.
The pipe is cleaned with heated pressurized air and various pneumatic processes, removing any contaminates in the pipe, leaving a smooth surface ready for epoxy application.
Step 3.
A liquid Epoxy is then pushed through the pipe with heat and pressurized air. This results in a smooth coat of epoxy, filling the pinholes and protecting the pipes from corrosion and erosion.
| Considerations | Traditional Methods | |
|---|---|---|
| Return on investment | Minimal. Pipes will need to be re-addressed in the future |
Excellent. Pipes become maintenance free |
| Installation | Long tear-out and installation process | Quick and seamless |
| Maintenance | Pinhole leaks and pipe repairs in the future | Maintenance free |
| Erosion | Begins again once water is turned back on | Prevents future erosion of lined pipes |
| Resident Disruption | High | Very Low |
| Property Damage | Extensive | None |
| Water Quality | No change | Improved |
| Results | Short-term | Long-term |
