Why a Dry Riser System Is Critical to High-Rise Fire Safety
The dry riser system is an essential component of fire safety in any multi-storey or high-rise building, providing the fire brigade with a direct and reliable means of delivering water to upper floors during an emergency. Installed as a network of vertical pipework within the building's core or stairwells, a dry riser connects at street level through a breeching inlet, where firefighters can pump water at pressure into the system. Landing valves at each floor level then allow the fire crew to connect hoses and tackle a fire effectively, even where mains water pressure alone would be insufficient to reach the upper floors. Buildings exceeding 18 metres in height across Cliffe in Lancashire are typically required to have dry riser systems installed, and those systems must be kept in full working order through regular inspection, pressure testing, and maintenance in line with BS9990. Without consistent and compliant servicing, a dry riser system may develop undetected faults that could prevent it from functioning correctly when lives depend on it. The Oltec Group provides the expert servicing your system needs to remain reliable.
