Our verification notes
Published with the failure on the record, because the same independent sources report it: on 26 June 2011 the berm at Fort Calhoun was punctured by a small earth mover and deflated. Read this as a temporary water-filled perimeter barrier - not dry floodproofing of a building envelope, and it cannot support a floodproofing certificate. No FM Approval or ANSI/FM 2510 listing was found for the product, and the company appears nowhere on the certified-products register. California-based with no regional office.
