Planning for your upcoming planned outage can be aided by this report. If an unanticipated outage occurs, you can review the most recent report to find out which valves might need to be fixed. When planning for the next outage, you will have a priority ranking of valves based on which are the most critical to be serviced. As a result, you can properly prepare for the extent of service and the parts required for the outage. If you are able to complete the planned valve service scope early, you will already know which valves to examine that are second most important to be serviced. Most importantly, you can prevent opening and removing valves that are not in need of maintenance during a planned maintenance event.
