Preventative maintenance

IMI’s Preventative Maintenance Program provides a comprehensive solution to ensure optimal performance and longevity of valve assets. Through regular inspections, routine maintenance, and recommended spare parts, you can prevent issues and minimise unexpected outages, promoting clean, safe, and efficient plant performance.


To aid in managing their valve assets effectively, IMI offers a three-day training workshop. This workshop includes a detailed review of the original project, flow conditions, and valve design. Along with hands-on training that involves disassembling, inspecting, and reassembling equipment using original manuals. By implementing an effective preventative maintenance plan and investing in training, operators can extend the lifespan of their valve assets and reduce the total cost of ownership.
