Fire hydrant systems provide a critical source of water for firefighting operations, supporting fire and rescue services in controlling and extinguishing fires. When correctly designed and maintained, these systems form a key part of a building or site wide fire protection strategy.
Lil Fire delivers specialist fire hydrant system services that combine technical expertise, practical experience, and modern digital delivery. We support projects from early strategy through to detailed design, coordination, and construction support, ensuring hydrant and riser systems are compliant, reliable, and fit for purpose.
Lil Fire provides technical management and oversight to support the successful delivery of fire hydrant systems throughout the project lifecycle. We work closely with clients, design teams, approving authorities, water authorities, insurers, and contractors to ensure system objectives, performance requirements, and interfaces are clearly defined and effectively managed.
Our involvement typically includes oversight of hydrant and riser strategy, coordination of responsibilities, review of technical proposals, and support during installation, commissioning, and handover. This structured approach helps manage risk, avoid late stage changes, and ensure systems are delivered in line with approved design intent.
Our fire hydrant system design services cover both new build and existing sites and range from early concept development through to detailed coordinated design. We focus on developing solutions that provide reliable firefighting water supplies while remaining practical to install, maintain, and operate.
Design development considers water supply availability, flow and pressure requirements, pipework sizing and routing, hydrant spacing, valve arrangements, and system zoning. We also design wet riser and dry riser systems, considering outlet locations, coverage, access for fire and rescue services, and integration with the overall fire strategy.
Our designers work using Autodesk Revit, delivering coordinated 3D BIM models that support spatial coordination, clash detection, and clear integration with other building services and site infrastructure.
Lil Fire provides independent fire hydrant system consultancy to support informed decision making and technical assurance. We advise on system suitability, feasibility, performance requirements, and compliance, and support the integration of hydrant and riser systems into broader fire and access strategies.
Our consultancy services are often used on projects involving large or complex sites, phased developments, constrained water supplies, or challenging fire service access requirements. We provide clear, practical advice that balances fire service needs, compliance, constructability, and commercial considerations.
Lil Fire is familiar with and experienced in working to a wide range of recognised national and international standards and guidance applicable to fire hydrant and riser systems. Our experience includes UK, European, and international standards, water authority requirements, and project specific and insurer driven criteria.
This breadth of knowledge allows us to support projects involving complex site layouts, multiple stakeholders, and varying regulatory expectations.
We have experience across a wide range of fire hydrant and riser system configurations, including:
This experience allows us to advise on the most appropriate system type based on building height, site layout, fire service access, water supply, and operational requirements.
Lil Fire supports businesses, developers, and building owners by providing clear and reliable fire hydrant and riser system solutions that support effective firefighting operations. We help organisations achieve compliance with applicable fire safety requirements while meeting stakeholder and insurer expectations.
Our role is to reduce technical uncertainty, support fire service access strategies, and deliver systems that provide confidence in availability, reliability, and performance.
