Army Wall Sand Wall Military Hesco Flood Barriers
Introduction of Military Barriers :
Military Barriers rapidly deployable fortification systems
Easily and Rapidly constructed create effective and economical
protective structures. Originally designed to replace conventional
field fortification materials such as sandbags, units were first
used operationally by the British Army in the 1991 Gulf War. 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,
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. units have also been extensively used in civil
applications in flood management, erosion control and slope
stability applications.

The Military Barriers come in a variety of sizes. Most of the barriers can also be
stacked, and they are shipped collapsed in compact sets. Example
dimensions of typical configurations are 1.4m x 1.1m x 9.8m (4'6" x
3'6" x 32') to 2.1m x 1.5m x 30m (7' x 5' x 100').

Military Barriers Features :
Military Barriers can be built to any required length and to any height. The unique
joining system allows the user great flexibility in configurations
and requirements. One of the key advantages of the system is that
any readily available infill material can be utilised. Sand,
rubble, rocks, soil, concrete and even snow have been successfully
used.
Rapid construction is another key feature of the product. A typical
wall of units equivalent to approximately 1500 sandbags, can be
erected and filled by two men and a single common loader in less
than twenty minutes. An equivalent wall constructed of sandbags
would take 10 men 7 hours to build.
Military Barriers Application:
- Perimeter security , Defensive barriers
- Equipment revetments
- Personnel bunkers, Observation points
- Guard posts, Protecting existing structures
- Contraband search areas, Highway checkpoints, Border crossing
checkpoints
- Traffic management, Hostile vehicle mitigation
