Dry Risers

FIRE SUPPRESSION

Dry riser system design and installation services to BS9990

Orange Fire Protection Group design and install high quality dry riser systems throughout the UK and Ireland. Ensuring compliance with BS9990 regulations, our experienced team will deliver a custom built fire protection system that aligns with your requirements, using only the highest quality products.

Externally charged and pumped dry riser systems are required in buildings with heights up to 50m, but they can also be suitable for other buildings where fire fighter access is limited. Dry riser systems work by allowing water to be pumped through internal pipework to strategically placed outlet valves.

Throughout the design and installation process, our specialist teams work with contractors and M&E providers to ensure that our dry riser systems are fully integrated into construction schemes, ensuring that the most effective solutions are delivered.

How dry riser systems work?

Dry riser systems allow water to be pumped to locations throughout a building, enabling fire fighters to target fires at source. This reduces the time to extinguish a blaze, subsequently minimising the risk to life and fire damage.

Dry riser systems comprise of a series of pipes which run from an inlet valve, usually situated in a cabinet outside the building, to a series of ‘landing’ valves located at predetermined points on each floor. Hoses can then be connected to the valves and water is supplied by a fire engine equipped with a powerful pump.

In larger buildings, you’ll need a different solution – a wet riser system, which ensures water is permanently available at the landing valves via a pressurised system and tank.

Dry riser system installation and applications

Successful dry riser system installations rely on a design which delivers a compliant and effective solution within the constraints of the structure of a building. This is particularly important in a retro-fit situation, where the original architecture will not have included provision for modern fire protection systems.

Our dry riser systems can be deployed in many types of buildings, including:

  • Hotels and restaurants
  • Retail
  • leisure and entertainment facilities
  • Large residential settings
  • Hospitals and care homes
  • Apartment buildings
  • Schools and colleges
  • Office and industrial buildings

Benefits of dry riser systems

Fire protection systems are now considered to be an integral part of the construction process for all types of buildings. Dry riser systems provide the following benefits:

  • Optimised fire fighting for buildings with limited access
  • Faster access to water throughout the building
  • Allow targeted and localised fire fighting
  • Enable high volumes of water (1500 litres/min)
  • Mandated documentation
  • testing and maintenance
  • Standardised infrastructure
