Plant Audit Service
AR Controls’ Plant Audit Service is one of the most impactful value-added offerings available to clients operating in complex and demanding industrial environments. Recognising that valve-related inefficiencies are among the leading causes of unnecessary downtime, production losses, and elevated maintenance costs, AR Controls provides comprehensive plant audits designed to assess, diagnose, and optimise valve performance throughout an entire facility.
These audits are conducted by the company’s experienced product specialists and engineers, who bring decades of industry knowledge and practical field expertise directly to site. A plant audit typically begins with a full walk-through of the facility, during which AR Controls’ specialists evaluate every valve, actuator, and instrumentation item within the process flow.
They assess installation quality, valve type and size suitability, material selection, actuation configuration, accessibility, and operational behaviour under real plant conditions. This holistic approach enables the identification of a wide range of issues including functional valve problems, incorrect product applications, improper mounting or orientation, premature wear, hazardous layouts, flow inefficiencies, and risks associated with operator safety.
Following the site inspection, AR Controls compiles a detailed audit report that includes high-resolution photographs, technical findings, root-cause analysis, and clear recommendations for corrective action. The report goes beyond listing problems and provides engineering-based solutions tailored to the customer’s specific process conditions.
