Concertainer® units from HESCO are acknowledged as the most significant development in field fortifications since WWII. They have been a key component in providing force protection since the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Typical applications include perimeter security and defence walls, equipment revetments, ammunition compounds, personnel and material bunkers, observation points, defensive firing positions, guard posts, explosives and contraband search areas, highway checkpoints, border crossing checkpoints, and protecting existing structures.

RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE CONCERTAINER DEFENSIVE WALL STRUCTURES

Structures built from Concertainer units have been subjected to testing with charges up to 20,000lbs. Correctly configured, a wall made from Concertainer will mitigate the effects of truck bomb attack. It has also been tested and proven against small arms fire and RPG, and is used extensively in the protection of personnel, vehicles, equipment and facilities in military, peacekeeping, humanitarian and civilian operations.

PREFABRICATED, MULTI-CELLULAR DEFENCE WALL SYSTEM

The Concertainer unit is a prefabricated, multi-cellular defence wall system, made of galvanised steel Weldmesh and lined with non-woven polypropylene geotextile. Its primary advantage over other force protection systems is its ability to utilise locally available fill material to rapidly construct defence walls and other structures with minimal manpower and resources. Units can be extended and joined together easily and rapidly to provide effective and economical structures tailored to the specific threat and level of protection required. Concertainer structures provide protection against the effects of weapons by enhancing the mass and characteristics of the fill material.

Several specialised off-the-shelf products based on the Concertainer system are also available, providing rapidly deployable protective structures for specific needs.
