MAKO Inflatable Flood Barrier™ 30" Kits

MAKO™ Inflatable Flood Barrier – Rapid Deploy Flood Protection

Instead of relying on sandbags or permanent fixtures, the MAKO™ Inflatable Flood Barrier from Garrison Flood Control delivers a fast and flexible flood defense solution. Because the system inflates and deploys in minutes, it allows teams to respond quickly with no tools, no sandbags, and no hassle. As a result, flood protection becomes faster and more reliable when time matters most.

Once inflated, the MAKO™ barrier forms a rigid, watertight opening seal. In turn, this structure provides stable and dependable flood protection for homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. For example, users commonly deploy MAKO™ barriers in doorways, windows, hallways, culverts, and other openings where water intrusion must be stopped.

How the MAKO™ Pressurized Flood Barrier Works

At the core, the MAKO™ pressurized flood barrier uses a high-tech drop-stitch “space fabric.” When the barrier inflates and pressurizes, this fabric locks into place and creates a solid structure. In addition, specialized rubber gaskets line the perimeter. As a result, the barrier seals tightly against surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, travertine, and wood.

Key Features & Benefits

• First, the inflatable drop-stitch design creates a rigid, flat barrier that resists deformation
• Next, the lightweight construction allows the barrier to deflate and fold compactly
• In addition, rapid deployment enables installation in minutes with minimal labor
• Because of this, the system works well for emergency response situations
• Finally, the reusable and durable design supports long-term, seasonal use

Versatile Surface Performance

Importantly, the MAKO™ flood barrier performs well on a wide range of surfaces. For example, it seals effectively on concrete, pavement, and stone tile. Moreover, minimal ground preparation is required, which further speeds up deployment.

MAKO™ Construction & Materials

From a construction standpoint, the MAKO™ inflatable flood barrier uses materials designed for extreme conditions. Specifically, the reinforced drop-stitch PVC resists punctures while handling high internal pressure. At the same time, the barrier withstands debris impact as well as hydrostatic and hydrodynamic flood forces.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Reinforced drop-stitch PVC with high-strength fibers
• Material Thickness: 10 cm and 15 cm options
• Seal Tolerance: Fills gaps up to 0.3" on uneven surfaces
• Deployment Time: Approximately 5 minutes per section
• Storage: Rolls compactly for long-term storage once deflated

A Smarter Flood Defense Solution

When rapid response and reliability matter, the MAKO™ Inflatable Flood Barrier offers a practical solution. Because it deploys quickly, seals tightly, and stores easily, it simplifies flood preparedness. Overall, MAKO™ provides a strong, reusable, and efficient way to protect openings from rising water.
