Wet standpipe system
Water remains in the piping under normal conditions. The approved supply arrangement determines how the required firefighting flow and pressure are provided.
Need a standpipe system? Start with a free site assessment.
We assess the building, water supply, hose connection locations and required system arrangement, then handle design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning and follow-up.

Standpipe systems and hose cabinets
The right arrangement depends on the building, water supply, firefighting strategy, hose-connection locations, pressure requirements and approved plans. We review those details before defining the project scope.
Dry standpipe system
The piping is normally not filled with water. The water-delivery and activation sequence must be defined for the selected system and building.
Fire hose cabinet
The cabinet houses the specified hose-station equipment and must be coordinated with the standpipe connection, mounting condition and approved layout.

handover.
We review the building, water supply and operating arrangement before defining the standpipe scope and project sequence.
01
Site assessment
We review the building, water supply, current conditions, available plans and requirements.
02
Design & planning
We coordinate the risers, connections, water supply, pressure and installation scope.
03
Review quotation
We discuss the proposed scope, inclusions, commercial terms and questions before approval.
04
Supply & installation
Piping, valves, cabinets and site work follow the agreed project scope.
05
Testing & commissioning
The installed system is tested and commissioned against the approved project scope.
06
Service + BFP follow-up
We remain available for maintenance, project records and BFP-related follow-up within our scope.
Standpipe already installed?
Keep every outlet ready.
We provide preventive maintenance for existing standpipe and hose systems based on the installed arrangement, water supply, equipment condition and agreed testing scope.
- 01
Review visible piping, valves, hose connections, cabinets, gauges, drains and identification.
- 02
Check the agreed water-supply, fire-pump and fire-department-connection components.
- 03
Perform the agreed inspection and testing scope and record leaks, corrosion, obstruction or pressure concerns.
- 04
Provide service records, corrective-work recommendations and BFP-related follow-up for our scope.

Straight answers about wet and dry standpipes, hose cabinets, site assessment, project scope, testing and maintenance.
A standpipe system is a network of piping that makes water available at designated hose connections in a building. The required arrangement, outlets, water supply and operating method depend on the building and approved design.
A wet standpipe contains water in the piping under normal conditions. A dry standpipe normally does not. How each system receives the required firefighting water and pressure must be defined in the approved design.
No. A fire hose cabinet is the enclosure or hose-station point that can contain the specified hose, valve, nozzle and related equipment. It must be coordinated with the standpipe connection and approved layout.
That depends on the building height and layout, occupancy, hose-connection locations, water supply, fire-pump arrangement, hydraulic demand, approved plans and BFP requirements. We assess those details before recommending a scope.
Send the contact person, company, site location, whether the project is new or existing, and any available architectural plans, fire-protection plans, hydraulic calculations, specifications, bill of quantities or BFP comments.
Yes. We can review the installed piping, valves, hose connections, cabinets, fire-department connection, water-supply components and records, then agree on an inspection, testing or corrective-work scope.
