What is a Dry Rising System ?
A Dry Rising System is a vertical water supply pipe installed in a building for use by the fire services for fire-fighting purposes. It is fitted with inlet connections at a fire service access level and landing valves at specified points. It is maintained empty of water but is charged with water usually by pumping from fire and rescue service appliances in the event of a fire via a dry “inlet breaching” on the outside wall of a property. Wet Rising Systems are permanently charged with water and ensure water is immediately available for firefighting.
Dry and Wet Risers are installed up to 50 metres in height.Where a building extends more than 50 metres higher than the fire service vehicle access level then only Wet Risers should be installed due to the pressure required to provide water supplies to the landing valves on upper floors being greater than can be provided by a fire service appliance.
The “responsible person” who either owns or manages a building/s has a legal responsibility and duty of care to ensure the service maintenance of a Dry Riser system. They must have a 6 monthly visual inspection and an annual 12 Bar wet test complete with certification. Failure to do so can result in insurance being invalidated, revoked and or prosecution if the system fails.
All our Dry & Wet rising mains are maintained using our Fire tender (truck) to simulate a real live emergency fire event to check the performance and functionality of gate vales, inlets, and pressure release valves.
