Fire suppression within a building incorporating a dry riser system
Modern buildings have a number of fire safety systems in operation and a dry riser is just one example of the type of fire safety equipment that can be fitted within a structure. A dry riser is basically a pipe that runs from the ground floor of a building to the upper levels. It has an inlet valve at the ground level which the fire service can connect their pump truck to and a landing valve at each subsequent floor where fire fighters can connect their hoses. On a day to day basis the dry riser pipe remains dry and it's only when a water supply is introduced to them that dry risers become operational.
New installations and updates for old equipment
Tackling a build project in the future? Want to incorporate a dry riser system within the design? Specialist dry riser companies can design, manufacture and install your new dry riser systems on your behalf. Site meetings can establish what you are trying to achieve from the project and you dry riser needs can be fulfilled within your budgetary requirements. If you are updating your old wet riser systems and want them to be replaced by a dry riser scheme, the work can be completed with the minimum amount of disruption to your business. All of the work is completed by experienced engineers who are qualified to install dry risers and other fire suppression equipment.
Effective fire fighting
Once a dry riser has been fitted within a building the fire service is provided with a water access point at each level of the structure. They can connect their hoses to a valve on each floor of the building saving time and effort in the process. New projects can incorporate a dry riser within their design and older buildings can have their fire suppression systems updated with a fresh install of a dry riser. Customers looking to introduce dry risers within their projects can work hand in hand with professional designers and installers of dry riser systems. Site consultations can be completed by senior surveyors and advice can be offered to the customers their individual needs are met.

Everywhere we look, it's omega this and omega that. We're told to take it in supplements and eat foods that contain it. But which ones are best? And where do we start?
Omega Overview
Essential Fatty Acids, or EFAs, are needed to keep our skin and tissue supple, especially for our blood vessels and nerves. And since we can't manufacture them in our own bodies, we must get them from our diet. These essential fatty acids are called Omega-3 and Omega-6.
It's important to maintain a good balance of both – approximately 2 to 1 in favor of omega-3, according to the renowned authority on fats, Udo Erasmus (though some researchers say otherwise.) But the North American diet provides such an abundance of omega-6 – found in plant oils like canola, corn, peanut, safflower, sesame, soy, sunflower and walnut – that the correct balance can be difficult to achieve.
This imbalance is being blamed for many of the health problems we face today such as cancer, heart disease and inflammation. Research shows that omega-3s help with more than twice as many degenerative diseases as omega-6s. That's why the importance of omega-3s has been emphasized so much recently.
Why take them?
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. And because they're highly concentrated in brain tissue, they're also important for memory and overall mental performance. Symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency include weakness, mental deterioration, dry skin, high blood pressure, edema, and immune dysfunction.
Right to the source
The primary source of omega-3 in plant-based foods is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Sources include flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, soy and walnuts, to name a few. ALA is the essential fatty acid the body uses to make the other omega-3's – eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) anddocosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are the most beneficial for lowering blood fat levels.
However, little conversion of EPA and DHA will take place if a person is deficient in ALA. The intake of essential nutrients – vitamins B3, B6 and C, plus the minerals magnesium and zinc – are believed to boost the conversion to above the normal rate of 2.7% of ALA to EPA and DHA.
You can also directly obtain EPA and DHA from seafood such as albacore tuna, salmon, mackerel, sardines and rainbow trout, but it's important to know the source of your fish due to toxins and mercury levels. In addition to lowering blood fat levels, EPA and DHA are said to have even more anti-inflammatory properties than ALA.
Your daily dose
Fish
- If you're not a vegetarian and you can choose safe wild sources, adding the seafood listed above in your diet will give you a direct amount of EPA and DHA
- You can also supplement with fish oil, but talk to your nutritionist or health care provider on brands and dosage
- As a preventative for cardiovascular disease, it's recommended to eat a portion of oily fish 2-3 times weekly, or supplement with 500-1000 mg of EPA and DHA
- The fish should not be fried. It's best to boil them whole so their oils aren't destroyed by heat, light and air. Eaten raw as sushi is also optimal
- Check with your health care professional for exact dosage recommendations, as dosage will need to be adjusted based on specific concerns
Flax
- Add freshly ground flax seeds to your cereal, smoothies and any soup or sauce when serving. Cooking foods that contain EFAs will quickly deplete them. They're also sensitive to light and heat, and can easily go rancid if not properly stored in a dark container, or in the fridge or freezer
- Two tablespoons of flax seeds contain two grams of protein, four grams of fiber, four grams of EFAs and important nutrients like calcium, potassium, magnesium, selenium, choline, and vitamin E
- If supplementing with oil, the typical recommended dosage is around one tablespoon, but can be adjusted accordingly
Chia
- Chia seeds pack a nutty, crunchy flavor, so they're great on salads, and excellent in homemade energy bars
- An ounce of chia seeds gives you 4 grams of protein, 10 grams of fiber, 6 grams of EFAs and contains other important nutrients like calcium
Always check with your health care professional before beginning high levels of supplementation. EFAs can act as a blood thinner, so exercise caution – especially before any surgical procedure.
