Dry Risers
Dry Risers are an essential part of any building design where the height of the building exceeds 18 metres from the fire brigade access level to the top floor. They are also required where there are floors more than 10 metres below ground.

Hydrants
Firefighters use a fire hydrant to give them a local access to a good strong supply of water. The fire engine is connected to the fire hydrant using a hose. A hose at the property side is then connected taking advantage of the new local supply. The firefighters are therefore able to move lifesaving water more effectively and powerfully to the cause of the fire.

Dry Risers Testing
If it is dry riser testing you require, our experienced engineers can test your dry riser system to ensure that it conforms to the latest British Standards and relevant building regulations. We issue you with a recognised certificate of compliance once the system has met all the requirements.

It is important to note that it is a legal requirement for the person responsible for the building, i.e. the property owner, landlord or facilities manager, to show that all dry risers located in the building have been tested annually and that there is a valid certificate of compliance in place for each one. The valid certificate will need to be shown to the relevant investigators should a fire ever break out.
