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 Leavesden Green in Hertfordshire 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. Oltec Services ensures your system is always ready.
BS9990 Compliant Dry Riser Testing and Certification from Trusted Engineers
The dry riser maintenance service provided by Oltec Services is thorough, structured, and fully aligned with BS9990 and current UK fire safety legislation, giving duty holders across Leavesden Green in Hertfordshire the assurance that every system in their care is compliant, documented, and operationally ready. Our engineers carry out a detailed visual inspection of all system components during every service visit, including inlet breeching connections, landing valves, outlet valves, drain valves, and all associated fittings, caps, and signage. We then conduct hydraulic pressure testing to verify that the system can sustain the required pressure without leaks or failures, and we identify and address any defects or areas of concern found during the process. All findings are recorded in a comprehensive written report, and compliance certificates are issued to support the duty holder's fire safety management records. Our team's strong knowledge of British Standards and local building requirements makes us an experienced and dependable partner for property managers who want to be confident that their dry riser systems are consistently maintained, tested, and ready for emergency use at all times.
