Why a Dry Riser System Is Critical to High-Rise Fire Safety
Understanding why a dry riser system is critical to building fire safety helps property managers appreciate the importance of keeping it properly maintained and compliant. A dry riser is a network of vertical pipework installed inside a building, designed to allow the fire brigade to pump water from street level up to landing valves on each floor, providing a reliable supply wherever it is needed most during a fire. Unlike wet risers, a dry riser contains no water under normal conditions, which means it requires dedicated testing and inspection to confirm that it will perform correctly when called upon in a real emergency. For buildings over 18 metres in height across Kington in Herefordshire and throughout the UK, dry risers are a mandatory fire safety requirement, and their maintenance is governed by BS9990 and associated UK fire safety legislation. At The Oltec Group, our engineers understand the critical role these systems play in protecting lives and supporting emergency responders, and our maintenance and testing services are designed to ensure every system is consistently ready, reliable, and compliant.
BS9990 Compliant Dry Riser Testing and Certification from Trusted Engineers
Our dry riser maintenance service covers every element of BS9990 compliant inspection, testing, and repair, giving property managers and duty holders across Kington in Herefordshire complete confidence in their fire safety systems. During each visit, our engineers carry out a full visual inspection of all dry riser components, including inlets, landing valves, outlet valves, drain points, and associated fittings, checking for signs of damage, corrosion, or non-compliance. We verify that all signage is correctly displayed and that all caps and blanking plates are in place and in good condition. Hydraulic pressure testing is carried out to confirm system integrity, and any defects identified during the inspection are reported, and where possible, repaired during the same visit. On completion, Oltec FM issues comprehensive compliance certificates and written maintenance reports to support your fire safety records. Our BS9990 trained engineers apply consistent, methodical standards to every project, making us the preferred choice for responsible persons who need to be certain that their dry riser systems meet all legal requirements and are ready for use in any emergency.
