With Hurricane Dorian approaching, the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville will put up an inflatable temporary seawall along the St. Johns River. It’s designed to prevent the kind of flooding that ruined much of its famed gardens during Hurricane Irma.
USFC has worked closely with government agencies, municipalities, along with public and private companies on their flood mitigation planning for almost twenty years.
The Tiger Dams System is:
Temporary water filled flood barriers.
FM Approved. Platinum Certified.
Reusable. Lifespan of 17-20 years, with repeated use.
Rapidly deployed.
Standard 50ft long each, joins seamlessly together to create any length of barrier
Tubes available in four standard heights – 18”, 24”, 36” and 42”. Stacking in a pyramid configuration allows the tubes to reach up to 32ft high.
Flexible – the dams can be bent and turned as much as 90 degree angles
Commonly used for Flood protection, Water diversion, Retention ponds, Haz-Mat containment, Dewatering projects,
and other Construction projects.

Twenty Reservists from across B.C. gathered at CFB Esquimalt’s Urban Search and Rescue complex to become the first military members in BB trained on a simple alternative to sandbagging.
The Tiger Dam flood control system – originally designed in Canada – fights water with water. Each 15-metre Tiger Dam section replaces about 500 sandbags and folds easily into the next one to make a continuous barrier (the province of B.C. bought enough to cover a 26-kilometre stretch). A small team can set-up a barrier in a fraction of the time it takes to make a sandbag wall and best of all, there’s no shoveling.
