Dry Risers

Buildings that are over 18 metres but less than 60 metres in height are required by law to have dry riser systems installed to deliver water to the higher floors for firefighting.

Using an inlet at ground floor level, the water is pumped when needed via vertical mains that have usually been fitted into stairwells. Outlets situated on each landing at the higher levels can then be used for firefighters to connect to and gain access to the water flow.

Note: buildings over 60 metres high need wet risers, which are permanently charged with pressurised water.
