What Garrison Flood Control does

Garrison Flood Control (legal entity Garrison Systems, LLC) is a USA-based manufacturer and distributor of modular flood barrier and water diversion systems. The company sells 14 distinct product lines spanning permanent aluminum-plank flood walls (Hammerhead), modular L-shaped water-diversion barriers (Mayim), fiberglass-reinforced perimeter panel systems (BlueFIN, YellowFIN), pressurized inflatable barriers (MAKO, Serpent), self-activated passive flood gates (Oyster, Stingray), water- and gel-filled tubes and bags (Guppy, Guppy MAX, Minnow, Beluga), traditional sandbags, and dewatering pumps (Sea Sponge). Three product systems (BlueFIN, MAKO, Oyster) are patent-pending, and the Hammerhead line uses patented 6063 T-5 aluminum sealing systems validated through FEA engineering testing. Manufacturing is centered at a 30,000 sq ft facility in Pompano Beach, Florida, which opened in April 2026 and also serves as headquarters; regional distribution runs from Santa Fe Springs, California. The company is privately held, founder-led (Arnon Rosan, President & CEO), and reports no external investment, parent company, or M&A activity.

The business operates three revenue streams: one-time product sales (direct e-commerce and dealer network), professional installation services across Florida and much of the US (backed by Florida Certified General Contractor License #CGC1529553), and government/municipal contract sales via cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell #040825-GAR, TIPS #220702, Government of Canada SOSA #CW2234303). Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, and revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional rather than recurring. Customers span federal agencies (US Army Corps of Engineers, NYPA, State of North Carolina, Canadian Coast Guard College), institutional buyers (National Gallery of Art, NYIT), commercial enterprises (Whole Foods, Home Depot), critical infrastructure (Power Technology Inc. substation), municipal governments (Salt Lake County), and residential property owners, with 5,000+ completed projects nationwide cited as scale evidence.

The go-to-market is sales-led, supported by content marketing, a website with case studies and spec downloads, an authorized dealer program, and cooperative contract channels. Recent strategic emphasis has been on physical capacity expansion (Pompano Beach facility), product line extension (three patent-pending launches), and pre-vetted procurement access (Sourcewell and SOSA contracts). No AI/ML, software platform, or recurring SaaS components are part of the offering; the product is fundamentally engineered physical hardware.

Core offering

Garrison Flood Control manufactures and distributes a portfolio of modular flood barrier systems and water diversion products, including aluminum flood plank systems, inflatable barriers, self-activating water gates, water-filled tubes, gel-filled flood bags, sandbags, and dewatering pumps. The company sells these products through direct e-commerce, an authorized dealer network, cooperative purchasing contracts, and provides professional on-site installation services across Florida and much of the United States.

Product overview

Garrison Flood Control is a manufacturer and distributor of physical flood barrier and water mitigation products, not a software/platform company. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of 14 distinct flood protection products spanning temporary barriers (inflatable barriers, water-filled tubes, gel bags, sandbags), permanent barrier systems (aluminum flood planks, modular panel systems), automatic self-deploying gates, and water management equipment (dewatering pumps). The Hammerhead Aluminum Flood Plank System serves as a primary permanent entryway protection product using stackable aluminum logs in U-channel posts, while the Mayim Water Diversion Barrier family (available in 20", 30", and 40" heights) provides modular L-shaped temporary protection. The BlueFIN and YellowFIN offer perimeter and panel-based protection respectively. The MAKO provides pressurized inflatable protection, and the Oyster Automatic Flood Gate self-deploys when water-activated. Supporting products include water-filled tubes (Guppy/Guppy MAX), inflatable tubes (Serpent), self-rising dams (Stingray), gel-activated bags (Minnow), oversized sand-filled barriers (Beluga), traditional sandbags, and Sea Sponge dewatering pumps. The company has completed over 5,000 flood protection projects nationwide with a team of more than 60 specialists.

Broad incumbents

• ILC Dover: ILC Dover is a large engineered solutions manufacturer whose products include inflatable flood protection systems (e.g., FlexWall, HESCO-style barriers). It operates across defense, space, pharma, and infrastructure, making it a broader incumbent that overlaps Garrison's MAKO/Serpent inflatable barrier category.

Direct peers

• Husky Innovative Equipment: Husky Innovative Equipment manufactures inflatable flood protection tubes and rapid-deployment water barriers for emergency management, municipalities, and industrial users, directly comparable to Garrison's Serpent and Guppy product lines.
• NoFloods (Hydro Response): NoFloods markets water-filled flood barrier tubes that stack into temporary levees, directly comparable to Garrison's Guppy, Guppy MAX, Serpent and Stingray lines. It sells reusable water-inflated barriers for municipal, industrial, and emergency response applications globally.
• AquaFence: AquaFence designs and manufactures modular demountable flood barrier walls (DEMountable FLOODwall) used to protect buildings, utilities and transit infrastructure. Like Garrison, it sells engineered, reusable perimeter barriers to government and enterprise customers in flood-prone markets, making it the closest direct product-line competitor.
• FloodBreak: FloodBreak produces automatic, passive flood barriers that deploy without power or human intervention when water rises, similar in concept to Garrison's Oyster self-activated gate. It targets the same roadway, doorway, and perimeter protection use cases for municipalities, transit agencies, and critical infrastructure operators.
• US Flood Control Solutions: US Flood Control Solutions distributes and installs a range of flood barrier products including water-filled tubes, modular barriers, and automatic flood gates for residential, commercial, and government buyers across the United States, overlapping Garrison's e-commerce and dealer-channel strategy.
• Water-Gate (MegaSecur): Water-Gate is a well-known reusable water-filled dam system used for flood control and emergency response. It competes head-to-head with Garrison's water-filled tube products and serves overlapping municipal, industrial and emergency management customers.
• Barrier1 Systems: Barrier1 Systems sells reusable modular and water-filled flood barrier products (including the Water Inflated Property Protector, WIPP) for residential and commercial flood protection. It competes with Garrison on direct-to-consumer and small-commercial flood barrier purchases.
• Flood Control International: Flood Control International designs, manufactures and installs demountable flood barriers, flood doors, and glass flood walls for commercial and public-sector buildings. It targets the same architect/specifier and government procurement channels as Garrison, particularly in the UK and Europe.

Others

• FEMA / USACE Flood Mitigation Programs: FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, BRIC, and USACE flood control programs are not commercial peers but are the primary funding and regulatory framework that drives procurement decisions for Garrison's government and institutional customers, shaping which barrier specifications and certifications (e.g., TB-3 dry floodproofing) gate the company's addressable demand.
