Concertainer units are the benchmark in force protection for many military organizations including the US Army, USMC, USAF, NATO and the United Nations. They have been used for protection in many countries around the world including Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Jordan, UAE and Turkey.

Today, HESCO offers a wide portfolio of products in addition to the Concertainer unit, always maintaining the integrity of its product design by working closely with the world’s leading testing authorities.

Concertainer^® Mil^® Units

From a simple single-level vehicle barrier or a base perimeter wall, Concertainer Mil units enable the construction of rapid and efficient engineered fortification with dependable protection characteristics.

The Concertainer unit is a multi-cellular system manufactured from welded alu-zinc coated steel wire mesh and joined with vertical, helical coil joints. The units are lined with a heavy-duty non-woven polypropylene geotextile.

Available in a variety of sizes, units can be easily extended and joined and filled with available material using minimal manpower and commonly available equipment.

RAID^® (Rapid In-theatre Deployment)

RAID utilizes a specially designed and engineered container to provide significant increases in the quantity of Concertainer units that can be transported in a 20’ container footprint.

Deployment can be carried out using a wide range of trucks, earthmoving equipment, logistic vehicles or combat vehicles. A vehicle is simply driven forward at walking pace, pulling the container along behind. The Concertainer unit is pulled from the back of the RAID container.

In less than 10 minutes, and with just three men, a 333m-long Concertainer wall, 2.21m high, can be deployed, ready for filling and providing instant cover from view. During trials, a RAID unit being pulled by an armoured fighting vehicle deployed the 333m of wall in under one minute.

Corners, curves and gaps in the wall can be easily formed. The unit can be simply split by the removal of two joining pins, which are positioned every five cells.

EPW-1^TM (Enhanced Protective Wall)

The EPW-1 unit is an enhanced design of the standard Concertainer unit, providing the same high standard of proven protection combined with easier strip-out, disposal or redeployment. The EPW-1 unit is available in a height of 2.1m and a length of 33m.

HAB^TM (HESCO Accommodation Bunker)

The HESCO Accommodation Bunker (HAB), provides protected accommodation and facilities in harsh environments where protection against IDF weapons is paramount.

HAB has sidewalls of specifically developed Concertainer units and a lightweight aluminum roof and has been extensively tested against the effects of IDF weapons.

HLBR^TM (HESCO Lightweight Bunker Roof)

The HESCO Lightweight Bunker Roof (HLBR), is a rapid and easily erectable lightweight roof specifically designed to protect against IDF weapons. The roof can be built on almost any walls capable of taking the load that the roof will impose upon it.

HRSF^TM (HESCO Re-deployable Security Fence)

The HRSF unit provides a rapidly erectable anti-climb fence that requires no special tools or training, no ‘digging in’ of fence posts and can be re-deployed with limited effort. Available in three heights; 2.4m, 3.1m and 3.6m, the HRSF unit has an anti-climb front face and will withstand light vehicle attack.

Other products are available.
