With our dry riser maintenance service in place, you can be confident that your systems are ready whenever they are needed most.
Why a Dry Riser System Is Critical to High-Rise Fire Safety
A dry riser system is a vertical pipework installation built into multi-storey buildings specifically to support firefighting operations. It connects externally at street level through a breeching inlet, allowing the fire brigade to pump water into the system and deliver it to landing valves on each floor. This means that firefighters responding to an incident in a high-rise building have immediate access to a reliable water supply at the point they need it, regardless of whether the mains pressure at street level is sufficient to reach the upper floors. In Ash South in Surrey and across the UK, dry risers are installed in buildings where floors exceed 18 metres in height, forming a fundamental part of the building's overall fire safety infrastructure. A dry riser system must be kept in excellent condition to function correctly in an emergency. That is why regular inspections, hydraulic pressure testing, and prompt repairs are so important. Without them, the system may fail at the critical moment when firefighters depend on it most. The Oltec Group ensures your system is always ready.
