Engineered fortification systems

HESCO Bastion Concertainer is a straight forward product that is easily and rapidly constructed to create effective and economical protective structures. Originally designed to replace conventional field fortification materials such as sandbags, HESCO units were first used operationally by the British Army in the 1991 Gulf War. HESCO is now in service with many major military organisations including the UK MoD, ADF and the US Military and has become a benchmark in force protection throughout the world.

Whether used to define boundaries or as a preventative barrier,gabbione, HESCO units have been employed to safeguard personnel, vehicles, equipment, facilities and other vulnerable target areas in a variety of military, peacekeeping, humanitarian and civilian operations. HESCO units have also been extensively used in civil applications in flood management, erosion control and slope stability applications.
