Kuala Lumpur | February 13, 2026 — EKG M&E Sdn Bhd continues to expand its industrial portfolio, recently completing a specialized technical site visit to the Continental Tyre facility. In heavy industrial environments like tire manufacturing, the reliability of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems is paramount to ensuring continuous production and worker safety.
Our engineering team was deployed to conduct a high-level infrastructure audit and system performance review, tailored to the unique demands of a large-scale manufacturing plant.
Scope of Work: Preliminary Site Audit, Condition Monitoring, and Performance Assessment
Manufacturing facilities like Continental Tyre operate under intense thermal and mechanical loads.
Operational Criticality: Any failure in the HVAC, compressed air, or electrical distribution systems can lead to costly production delays.
Extreme Environments: Industrial sites often face high ambient temperatures and particulate matter, which can accelerate the wear of Cooling Towers, AHUs, and Electrical Switchgear.
Safety & Compliance: Maintaining strict MEP standards is essential for adhering to both local safety regulations and international manufacturing protocols.
To provide a comprehensive assessment of the site’s health, EKG implemented a systematic "Discovery" process:
HVAC & Cooling Audit: We inspected the industrial cooling systems to check for internal fouling or scale buildup. This is critical for systems that manage process cooling or large-scale climate control.
Electrical Load Analysis: Our team reviewed the main electrical panels, focusing on the health of Contactors, Overload Relays, and Capacitor Banks. In industrial settings, maintaining a high power factor is vital to avoid reactive power surcharges.
Hydraulic & Piping Inspection: We mapped critical piping routes to identify any signs of vibration stress or potential leak points in Flexible Valves and Butterfly Valves.
Asset Lifecycle Tagging: Major mechanical units were identified and logged for future Preventive Maintenance (PM) cycles, moving the facility toward a more proactive maintenance model.
Risk Identification: The audit successfully identified several "Amber" priority maintenance tasks, allowing the facility team to schedule repairs before they become "Red" alert failures.
Energy Benchmarking: By reviewing the power and cooling performance, EKG provided initial insights into potential energy-saving upgrades, such as VFD integration or high-efficiency Daikin unit replacements.
Maintenance Roadmap: Continental Tyre now has a technical baseline to develop a data-driven MEP strategy, ensuring long-term operational uptime.
