Where should Dry Risers be installed?
The installation of risers removes the need for fire fighters to have to drag charged fire hoses all the way up through tall buildings which could delay fire-fighting operations or create a hazard during evacuation. If the building has a floor level higher than 18m but less than 50m or has floors more than 10m below ground, the fire main can be either a Dry or a Wet riser. When a building is more than 50m high the rising main has to be a Wet riser. A rising main is a system of pipework and valves, often found in high-rise buildings, which allows firefighting water to be easily delivered to all floors. It consists of a vertical pipe with an inlet at ground level on an outside face of the building allowing fire and rescue service personnel to pressurise the main from their appliances and outlets (known as landing valves) usually fitted in cabinets on each floor that act as outlets, enabling the fire service to connect their fire hoses into the water supply.
The current British Standard used for design, installation, testing and maintenance of Wet and Dry Risers is: BS9990:2015 Non-automatic fire-fighting systems in buildings Code of practice.

When designing and specifying Dry Risers we take into account the security of riser equipment. This equipment is susceptible to vandalism and theft installing them in lockable boxes is the preferred option. All risers can have brass or bronze components and as such are also a target for thieves.
Some premises may require more than one dry riser depending in the property. The number of rising main required is specified by BS 9999: Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings 2008. We will advise you of what you are legally required to install as part of the Residential Sprinklers Dry Riser design service.
We work with architects, builders and property owners to ensure that Dry Risers are positioned in suitable locations in the property with outlets installed at ground level to enable the fire services to connect into the water supply.
