Headquartered in New York City,
Garrison provides a range of products
designed to divert water from event
equipment and venues. These include
the Mayim™ Modular Flood Barrier, a
modular ABS plastic flood panel system
used for perimeter protection and for
sending water away from an event site;
Guppy®
Water Filled Flood Tubes, an
" aqua dam " also effective where surfaces
are uneven; and the self-deploying
Stingray™ Water Dam, constructed from
flexible PVC material.
" As water accumulates inside the
dam's pocket chambers, it ballasts the
bottom of the nonslip fabric, " Rosan
says, explaining how Stingray works.
" As water enters the barrier's pocket,
water pressure builds up and this causes
the barrier to open up in a 'V' shape,
providing effective protection to tents,
event grounds and event venues by
holding back flood waters. "
Garrison's products are receiving
sidewall of tents and can pool in lower
areas or create uninvited rivers that
flow through the event space.
" Sloped parking lots can flood,
The Mayim™ Temporary Flood Control
Barrier from Garrison™ Flood Control
Systems is a modular ABS plastic flood
panel system that can provide a straight
or curved barrier. Standing, the system
can achieve a flood barrier/water
diversion height of as much as 40 feet (at
immediate top it's shown from behind).
It can also be used to direct traffic
flow and to create barriers between
sections of an event. Photos courtesy of

resulting in flooded tents, " Rosan
continues. " Access ways at event
sites such as festival grounds can
get saturated and drains can fill up
and overflow, creating flooding that
prevents vehicle or pedestrian access. "
Until recently, flood protection
hasn't been top-of-mind for most
people, says Rosan. But now, driven
by today's more extreme and
unpredictable weather patterns,
and because of all the preparation
that goes into tented events, rental
companies have started planning
for more severe weather events,
particularly since the consequences of
being caught flatfooted can prove dire.

more attention as tent and event
companies try to proactively address
any potential weather- and waterrelated
issues, says Rosan, adding that
advanced planning is essential when it
comes to successful flood prevention.
DAMAGE DEFENSE
McCollister says their " primary effort " to
avert or minimize damage begins with
their design and engineering standards.
" [This] starts with performing soil
geotechnical analysis and subsequently
designing our understructures in
accordance with geotechnical results
in order to avoid damages from wind
or dynamic loads, " he explains. " Since
this work is 'understructure' primarily
and hidden by mesh/scrim around the
flooring in most installations, it does
not have an effect on aesthetics. "
When protecting grass surfaces from
heavy equipment such as forklifts and
other machinery, Cesar says they'll
