Military Protective Fence: a Steel Barrier to Defend the Country
Hesco Barrier is a modular, rapidly deployable defense system designed for military fortifications and protective infrastructure.
Below is a detailed overview of its features, applications, and specifications.
1. Structure & Materials
Core Components:
Galvanized steel welded mesh frame with a non-woven geotextile liner.
Modular units are interconnected via pins for scalability and stability.
Filling Material:
Sand, gravel, or soil is used to fill the collapsible containers, creating robust barriers resistant to blasts, ballistics, and fragmentation.
2. Key Applications
Military Fortifications:
Protects bases, checkpoints, and forward operating positions (FOBs) from explosions, gunfire, and shrapnel.
Serves as blast walls, bunkers, or perimeter security structures.
Explosion Mitigation:
Engineered to absorb and deflect blast energy, reducing collateral damage from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) or artillery.
Civil Engineering:
Also used in flood control, erosion prevention, and temporary infrastructure projects.
3. Technical Specifications
Dimensions: Standard unit size: 2m×1m×1m (customizable).
Mesh Parameters: Aperture size: 76.2mm×76.2mm; wire diameter: 4mm.
Military Standards: designation indicates compliance with defense-grade durability and blast-resistance requirements.
4. Advantages Over Traditional Barriers
Rapid Deployment: Lightweight and collapsible design enables quick assembly without heavy machinery.
Cost-Effective: Reusable and requires minimal maintenance compared to concrete or sandbag structures.
Versatility: Adaptable to uneven terrain and diverse threat scenarios.
