The hesly standard defensive barriers (MDB units) comes as a flat packed unit and can be assembled faster with minimal manpower, handling equipment and fill material.

A 10m long wall will take two people and one front-loading machine only 20 minutes to construct. Using sandbags, the same wall will take eight people eight hours to build and needs three time as much fill material.
Defensive Barrier units unfold and are positioned, pinned together and filled with local materials like sand or earth. Because the units are pinned together, they can create limitless defensive structures anywhere, anytime.

Defence Barriers Structure

Our Defence Barriers unit is a multi-cellular barrier system manufactured from welded Hot-dipped galvanised steel wire mesh and joined with vertical, helical-coil joints. The units are lined with a heavy-duty non-woven polypropylene geotextile. When joined and filled, the system can be used to create barriers of exceptional strength and structural integrity.

How High Can You Build Your Defense Barrier Wall ?

The main rule regarding the building of walls made from Hesly Defensive Barrier Units is that the height of the wall must never exceed 2 x the width of the base. For example, a wall with a 1m (3’3”) wide base should not exceed 2m (6’6”) height.

☼ Surface Treatment of defensive barrier

● Hot dipped galvanized before welded (common zinc layer) : 40 -80 g/㎡,  The zinc layer is thin and has average corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in dry, low rainfall environments. 

● Hot dipped galvanized before welded (thick zinc layer) : 240 - 260 g/㎡,  The amount of zinc is thick, suitable for various environments and a wide range of applications, making it the choice of many customers.

● Hot dipped galvanized after welded (thicker zinc layer ) : 450 -500 g/㎡,The amount of zinc is so thick that it will last for many years, even in a constantly humid, salty environment.

● Zinc - 5% aluminum wire : Zinc-aluminum alloy wire is a new type of material whose main advantages are better plasticity and adhesion of the coating and much higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion than conventional hot-dip galvanizing.

☼ Connection types of defensive barrier

The defensive barrier is usually connected with spiral wire, which allows the gabion mesh box to be folded up for easy loading and transportation, and it can be quickly shaped, filled with soil or stones and put into application when in use. The springs are all made of high strength steel wire, which can greatly improve the sturdiness of the defensive barrier.

☼ Defensive Barrier Application

● Defensive Barrier is widely used in military warfare and can be quickly built to form defensive shelters that can effectively prevent bullets and explosive shrapnel shockwaves from harming soldiers.
