Dry Riser Maintenance
It is essential that you keep your Dry riser in good working order. It is highly recommended that you have a 6 monthly visual inspection and 12 monthly hydraulic test on your system. Your Buildings insurance is probably invalid should the buildings Dry Riser (or other fire protection equipment) not be properly maintained.

All Dry Riser systems should be pressure tested to 12 bar of water for a minimum of 15 minutes once a year. Or after use by the fire brigade. The system should be checked for any vandalism that might effect its operation in the event of an emergency.

Dry Riser Installation
Dry risers come in all shapes and sizes, but are generally required in buildings above 18 metres in height or if the fire brigade access is severely restricted.
Each dry riser can be no more than 45 metres apart or 60 metres if your building has sprinklers installed. If your building currently has a sprinkler system you still require a dry or wet riser. The inlet breaching valves should be no more than 18 metres from closest fire brigade access point with the closest outlet no more than 45 metres from closest fire brigade access point (where the fire brigade would park their appliance in a emergency).
When it comes to the installation of Dry riser systems it isn’t always necessary to core holes through a slab, we have in the past installed on the external of a building, this pipework doesn’t need to be boxed in and can simply be painted whatever colour required.
