In light of recent events it is now even more imperative for Property Managers / Owners to abide by the latest fire safety regulations. Dry/Wet risers provide a key fire fighting system for use by the fire services in the event of a fire. In short, they provide charged water at all levels of a building through a network of Pipes and Valves. This allows a fire fighter to access a strong supply of water in local proximity to the fire, no matter what level it is on.
Typical criteria to be tested are;
- Flow rate of water exiting the valves.
- Pressure of water exiting the valves.
- Condition of the system.
- Water supply
- Signage
- Access
