Stop Floodwater at the Line With FRA Flood Barriers
From a single doorway to a full-property perimeter, FRA flood barriers hold water back before it enters the building. Every system is custom-fabricated to your opening and engineered to seal against rising water and storm surge.
Our line of flood barriers includes rapid-deploy fabric and water-filled systems for temporary lines, hinged barriers that take seconds to seal, and rigid clear panels for high-performance protection. We offer nationwide installation, training and support.
Flood Barriers Built For Your Property
Deployable and passive barriers for perimeters, openings and open ground.
Water-Filled Flood Barriers
A fast, reusable alternative to sandbags. These barriers fill on-site to form a stable, gravity-anchored wall: cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and ideal for long runs, golf courses, and luxury or open-site properties.

Aqua-Fabric Flood Barrier
A lightweight, high-strength fabric barrier engineered for rapid deployment across doorways, driveways and site perimeters. Packs down for storage and redeploys in minutes when a storm is inbound.

Foldable Flood Barrier System
A collapsible barrier that folds flat for storage and unfolds into a rigid, sealing line when you need it. A ground apron extends in front so rising water presses down on it instead of pushing it over: the more water that builds against it, the more firmly it anchors and seals.

Passive Hinged Flood Barrier
A portable barrier that expands with a simple straighten-and-lock motion, compressing watertight seals to block floodwater on contact. No power, no sensors, no second person: one person deploys it in seconds and keeps elevators and doorways accessible right up until the water arrives.

PC Clear Flood Panel
A removable, see-through polycarbonate barrier that protects an opening or perimeter without blocking the view. Rated to 4 ft, surface-mounted with no embedment, and fully reusable.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Questions about flood barriers? Our team will help you find the right fit for your property and your flood risk.
What's the difference between flood barriers and flood panels?
"Flood barrier" is the broad category for any system that holds water back: fabric, water-filled, foldable, passive or rigid panel. Our FRA Flood Panels, specifically, are a rigid, high-performance type of barrier. FRA builds the full range so the solution matches the site instead of forcing the site to match the product.
Which flood barriers are right for my property?
It depends on the opening, the flood elevation, and whether someone will be on site to deploy it. Attended sites with warning time often use fabric, foldable or water-filled barriers; unattended or critical sites lean toward passive systems that arm themselves. We assess your property and recommend the right mix.
Do I need to deploy them myself?
Only if you choose a deployable system, and those are designed to go up fast with trained staff. Passive barriers require no deployment at all: they respond to rising water automatically.
Are FRA flood barriers reusable?
Yes. Our barriers are engineered for repeat use: deploy for a storm, store afterward, and redeploy for years with routine inspection.
Are they custom-made?
We have flood barriers that are custom-made, and some, like our perimeter solutions, that come in standard sizes.
How fast can they be deployed?
Deployable barriers typically go up in minutes per opening with a trained team. Our hinged flood barriers can be sealed in seconds, while passive systems are effectively instant: they're always ready.
FRA Flood Barriers Exceeds Fema And NFIP Guidelines, U.S. Army Corp Of Engineers Standards, And FM Approval Standards.
