Applications - Military
HESCO Concertainer® was originally designed to replace conventional field fortification material such as sandbags, and was first used operationally in the first Gulf War. Since its first deployment it has been extensively used in a wide variety of applications and is considered to be the most significant development in field fortifications since WWII.
The most common application for HESCO Concertainer® within a military environment is that of a defence wall, used to protect personnel and equipment from the effects of weapons and to increase security around a perimeter. For maximum strength and ease of construction, defence walls are generally constructed from multiple courses, and in a pyramid configuration. This type of structure provides good resistance to ballistic and fragmentation penetration. For increased physical security, barbed wire coils are often attached to the wall.
Local conditions or operational situations may dictate modification of
the construction of normal structures, and one of the most useful features
of HESCO Concertainer® is its flexibility to adapt to an environment
or requirement.
