Dry Riser One at Construction EXPO North 2026
Dry Riser One Ltd was proud to attend Construction EXPO North on the 30th of April 2026 at Bolton Stadium, joining professionals from across Northern England for a focused day of insight and collaboration.
As one of the region’s key construction events, the expo highlighted both the scale of opportunity across the North and the increasing complexity of delivering safe, compliant and commercially viable projects. For Dry Riser One, the event provided a valuable platform to engage with contractors, developers and building managers on the growing importance of fire safety compliance in the UK.
Throughout the event, the Dry Riser One Ltd team connected with a wide range of industry professionals, discussing current projects, regulatory changes and compliance.
Session: “From Pipeline to Place: Delivering the North’s Construction Opportunity”
The day began with the opening keynote, “From Pipeline to Place: Delivering the North’s Construction Opportunity”, which explored the strength of the regional development pipeline and the practical challenges of bringing projects forward. A key takeaway was the importance of early planning, particularly when it comes to essential safety infrastructure. Integrating dry riser installation services at the outset, in line with BS 9990:2015 compliance, helps ensure projects remain on track while meeting strict regulatory requirements.
Session: “BSA Enforcement in 2026: Accountability, Risk & Organisational Exposure”
This session reinforced how the Building Safety Act continues to reshape responsibilities across the construction sector. Duty holders must now demonstrate clear and ongoing compliance with fire safety regulations, including the performance and dry riser maintenance of installed systems. Conversations throughout the day reflected a growing awareness of these obligations and the need for trusted providers of dry riser servicing UK solutions.
Session: “Making Projects Stack Up: Cost, Viability & Commercial Risk in 2026”
Later in the programme, “Making Projects Stack Up: Cost, Viability & Commercial Risk in 2026” addressed the financial pressures facing the industry. With tighter margins and increased scrutiny on project viability, ensuring cost certainty while maintaining safety standards is critical.
Dry Riser One continues to provide the best dry riser installation solutions, including dry riser installation services, testing, dry riser maintenance, and ongoing dry riser servicing in the UK, all delivered in full accordance with BS 9990:2015 compliance standards. Operating across key Northern cities such as Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, and nationwide overall.
Construction EXPO North 2026 offered valuable insight into the direction of the industry, and Dry Riser One Ltd is pleased to be part of the ongoing conversation around safer, more accountable construction practices.
