Dry Risers Installation & Maintenance

Reliable Firefighting Access for Multi-Story Buildings

Dry risers are an essential component of fire safety in multi-story and high-rise buildings. They provide a dedicated vertical pipe system that firefighters can connect to at ground level, delivering water to upper floors quickly and efficiently in the event of a fire.

What Are Dry Risers?

Dry risers are fixed, vertical pipe networks installed within buildings, designed to remain empty until used by the fire brigade. They feature:

Inlet Breeching Valves: Located at ground level for easy fire service connection.
Vertical Pipework: Running through the building to supply water to upper floors.
Landing Valves (Outlets): Positioned at each floor level, allowing firefighters quick access to water.
Isolation and Drain Valves: Enabling maintenance and system testing.
