The visual inspection of dry risers is to ensure that there are no obvious signs of damage or vandalism. It is important to document this and to quickly repair or replace any damaged or missing parts. We carry all of the typical replacement parts which enables us to effect repairs on the day.
This includes a hydraulic pressure test (or wet pressure test). Using a fire service approved hose and water pump the system is filled with water to a pressure of 12 bar (175psi) for a minimum of 15 minutes. This tests the system for any leaks. Our engineers carry out an initial air pressure test first to reduce the risk of a flooding should the dry riser leak. A comprehensive test of all valves, washers, seals, inlet and outlet valves is carried out along with a check of the dry riser cabinets and signage. Once the test is complete the dry riser system is drained and outlet valves are closed and secured with padlocks and straps. Finally the inlet breeching cabinet is closed and locked.
