Why a Dry Riser System Is Critical to High-Rise Fire Safety
Dry riser systems play a vital and non-negotiable role in fire safety for multi-storey and high-rise buildings across Leeds in West Yorkshire and throughout the UK. Designed as a fixed vertical pipework installation within the structure of a building, a dry riser allows the fire brigade to connect at a breeching inlet at street level and pump water upwards to landing valves on each floor, providing a controlled and reliable water supply during a fire emergency. Because these systems contain no water under normal operating conditions, they must be regularly inspected and hydraulically pressure tested to confirm they are free from leaks, blockages, or component failures that could prevent them from operating correctly in an emergency. The importance of this testing is underlined by BS9990, the British Standard that governs dry riser inspection and maintenance in the UK. At Oltec Services, our experienced engineers carry out all required testing, inspection, and certification work to ensure that your dry riser system meets the standard expected of it and is genuinely ready to support firefighting operations when the situation demands it.

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.
