Dry Riser – Case studies

The engineer attended site to carry out the necessary remedial works on Dry Riser 2, following issues identified during a previous inspection. Upon arrival, the engineer isolated the system and safely removed the defective B2 landing valve, which had shown signs of wear and was no longer compliant with current standards. A new BS5041-compliant landing valve was installed in its place. Once the installation was complete, the engineer conducted a pressure test to check for leaks and verify the system's integrity. The dry riser held pressure with no signs of leakage, confirming that the repair was successful. The system was then recommissioned and returned to full operational status.
Our engineers attended a site in Tilbury this week to carry out a dry riser wet test, ensuring that the system is fully operational and compliant with UK standards. Regular testing of dry risers is crucial to maintaining the safety and preparedness of any multi-story building, allowing firefighters to access a reliable water supply in the event of an emergency! During the test, our team conducted a full pressure assessment, checking for leaks, valve functionality, and overall system integrity. The results? A fully functional dry riser system, ready to support emergency response teams if ever needed. Routine maintenance and testing of dry risers are not just regulatory requirements—they are essential for saving lives and protecting property. If your building needs a dry riser inspection or maintenance, make sure to schedule it with certified professionals. ✅ System integrity verified ✅ No leaks or pressure drops ✅ 100% compliance achieved
Our engineers attended a site in Kent to carry out an annual dry riser wet test and a foam pourer inspection, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and optimal system performance. The dry riser wet test involved pressurizing the system with water to check for leaks, verify operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with British Standards. It was in perfect working condition! The foam pourer however needed a new ID sign as the old one was faded and unreadable, making it difficult to find and use in the event of an emergency.
We attended a site in West London to carry out a dry riser test, ensuring the system was fully operational and compliant with safety regulations. Upon arrival, we conducted a visual inspection of the pipework and inlet/outlet valves before proceeding with a pressure test to check for any leaks or faults.

A client in London reached out to us as they wanted us to test their dry riser which was due for it's annual inspection. A dry riser test is a safety inspection carried out to ensure that a building's dry riser system is functioning correctly. A dry riser is a network of empty pipes within a building, designed to be filled with water by firefighters in an emergency, allowing water to be transported and accessed even in the top floors of a building.
