Fire Hydrant and Dry Risers Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Realm provide a customised dry riser testing, inspection and maintenance service in Aberdeen and Scotland wide.
Dry and wet rising mains are intended for use by the fire brigade or other trained personnel. They provide a readily available means of delivering considerable quantities of water to extinguish or prevent the spread of fire.
Dry risers are vertical mains fitted into staircase enclosures or other suitable positions, with outlet valves on each floor and inlets fitted at ground level to enable the fire brigade to connect to the water supply. Wet risers are pipes kept permanently charged with water either from a storage tank (via a booster pump) or direct from the town's main water supply.
INSPECTION / MAINTENANCE
Dry and wet risers, as well as underground hydrants and hose reels, require regular inspection and occasional maintenance to ensure that they will work in an emergency.
Since 1989, it has been the responsibility of a building’s owner / occupier to keep the hydrant systems in good working order.
