Hesco defensive barrier is also known by various names such as Hesco bastion, Hesco defense wall, sand cage. With its zinc-coated steel welded mesh and non-woven geotextile lining, offers a reliable and versatile solution for a range of applications. Its prefabricated design, structural stability, and filtration capabilities make it an effective choice for defense, flood control, erosion prevention, and temporary barriers.
Prefabricated Design: The Hesco barrier is manufactured in a prefabricated form, meaning it is pre-assembled and ready for deployment. This feature allows for quick installation and reduces the need for extensive on-site construction. The pre-made cells can be easily transported and joined together as needed.

The Hesco barrier is constructed using a zinc-coated steel welded mesh. This mesh is assembled into a series of interconnected cells or compartments, creating a multi-cellular structure. The cells are then lined with a non-woven geotextile material, which provides additional reinforcement and filtration.
The Hesco barrier is highly versatile and finds applications in various contexts. It is commonly used for military and defense purposes, such as perimeter security, blast protection, and force protection. Additionally, it is utilized for flood control, erosion prevention, temporary barriers, and environmental protection in civil engineering projects.
The interconnected cells of the Hesco barrier provide structural stability and strength. When filled with suitable materials such as sand, soil, gravel, or rocks, the cells create a robust barrier capable of withstanding significant external forces, including impacts and water pressure.
Another advantage of the Hesco barrier is its reusability and relocatability. The system can be disassembled, transported, and reassembled at different locations as needed. This makes it a cost-effective and flexible solution for temporary or changing situations.
