Dry Riser Systems
Request a Call Back
A dry riser is an essential firefighting system composed of pipes and valves, specifically designed to supply water to different floors of a building during a fire emergency. Unlike wet risers, which are continuously filled with water, dry risers remain empty until they are connected to a water source by firefighters. This system is particularly advantageous in high-rise buildings, where delivering water from ground level rapidly can be difficult.

In the United Kingdom, the British Standard BS9990:2015 offers detailed guidelines for the installation, testing, and maintenance of non-automatic firefighting systems, including dry risers. These regulations are intended to ensure that dry risers are both functional and reliable.
