When are Wet and Dry Risers required?

Dry Risers are an essential part of any building design where the height of the building exceeds 18 metres from the fire brigade access level to the top floor.  They are also required where there are floors more than 10 metres below ground. Dry Risers can be used where the top storey is upto 50M above ground floor level. Above 50M a Wet Riser must be used. 

​

A Wet Riser can be used below 50M however in most circumstances it is more cost effective to use a dry riser in these scenarios.
