What we did: 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.
Full details:
During the pressure test, we observed a loss of pressure due to a leak on one of the valves, indicating that the riser was unable to maintain the required levels for effective firefighting operations.
A leak in a dry riser system is a serious issue because it compromises the system’s ability to deliver water efficiently in an emergency. If the system cannot hold pressure, firefighters may struggle to get the necessary water supply to upper floors, delaying their response and putting lives and property at risk. Immediate repairs are essential to ensure the riser is fully functional and compliant with fire safety regulations.
