Qiaoshi Hesco Barrier
QIAOSHI – Hesco Bastion – Engineered Force ProtectionQIAOSHI – Hesco Bastion has been manufacturing force protection products since 2003. Its most successful product, the Concertainer unit, has been acknowledged as the most significant development in field fortification since the Second World War.
Hesco Barrier products have been used in many countries around the world including Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Jordan, UAE and Turkey. Most military organisations currently use QIAOSHI Bastion products including the US Army, UK MOD, USMC, USAF and NATO.
In addition to the standard Concertainer unit, HESCO is constantly developing its portfolio of products in response to its customers requirements.
The Concertainer unit is a multi-cellular wall system manufactured from welded Zinc-Alu coated steel wire mesh and joined with vertical, helical coil joints. The units are lined with heavy-duty non-woven polypropylene geotextile.
The Concertainer unit’s primary advantage over other force protection systems is its ability to utilise locally available fill material to rapidly construct defensive barriers and other structures with minimal manpower and resources.
Units can be extended and joined together to provide effective and economical structures tailored to the specific threat and level of protection required. Concertainer units are available in a variety of different sizes and delivery systems.
RAID (rapid in-theatre deployment) has been designed to reduce the requirement for valuable manpower and equipment during the execution phase of expeditionary operations, such as the construction of FOBs and patrol bases.
RAID utilises a specially designed and engineered container to provide significant increases in the quantity of Concertainer units that can be transported in a 20ft ISO container footprint.
Deployment is easy and can be carried out using in-service material handling equipment such as wheeled and tracked earthmoving equipment, wheeled logistic vehicles or wheeled and tracked combat vehicles.
The unit being deployed is connected into a length of 2m x 203m (for RAID 1) or 1m x 333m (for RAID 7). These lengths can be easily split, providing excellent flexibility during construction. Corners can be formed, more units can be joined, and gaps in the wall can be created if required. The ability to split units provides the benefit of deploying only what is required; the remainder is left inside the secure RAID container for future use.
HESCO have developed a system that provides protected accommodation in harsh mission environments, such as those experienced in FOBs and patrol bases.
HAB is designed to house up to eight personnel, providing each with a personal space measuring 2m x 2m. HAB has sidewalls of specifically developed Concertainer units and a lightweight aluminium roof. It has been tested extensively against the effects of IDF weapons.
HAB 2 is a development of the HAB 1 concept, offering an improved level of protection for its occupants. HAB 2 is configured to allow easy access for emergency medical equipment, making it ideal for use as a front-line medical facility. Its components are completely reusable and the improved design provides a more useable interior space.
HESCO have developed the HLBR (HESCO lightweight bunker roof), a rapid and easily erectable lightweight roof specifically designed to provide protection against IDF weapons. The roof can be built on almost any walls capable of taking the load that the roof will impose upon it.
These HESCO bunker sets have been developed to utilise 40ft and 20ft ISO containers. Walls are constructed using specifically adapted Mil 1 Concertainer units to give a protective wall thickness of in excess of 1m. The roof design provides 0.6m of overhead cover. Material bunkers provide access from one end of the bunker, while personnel bunkers provide access from both ends.
The components of the HESCO guard post set provide a small protective emplacement with 0.6m walls and 0.45m of overhead cover. Embrasure (firing/observation point) forms are included in the set as are roof joists and roofing material. The interior space is 1.2m by 1.8m, with 1.98m of headroom.
The HRSF (HESCO re-deployable security fence) has been developed by HESCO in order to provide 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 minimal effort. Available in three heights of 2.4m, 3.1m and 3.6m, all with an anti-climb front face. HRSF is rated to PAS 68 and will withstand attack from a light vehicle.

More than 341,000 workers have been re-employed by flood-hit factories nationwide since the floodwaters began to recede, Labour Protection and Welfare Department director-general Arthit Ismo said Friday.
Mr Arthit said 14,砖带网,749 factories hit by the flood deluge in 31 provinces have now restarted production and taken back 341,285 workers.
However,razor barbed wire mesh, 39 auto-parts factories in flood-hit industrial estates had shutdown and terminated employment contracts with 10,957 workers – 30 factories in Ayutthaya province with 8,789 workers,石笼网, six in Pathum Thani with 1,678 workers,Hexagonal Wire Mesh,Bangkok flooding passes critical point PM-HESCO, two in Chachoengsao with 459 workers, one in Saraburi with 31 workers,Thailand’s Water Management to Be Improved -苗床, said Mr Arthit.
To help these laid-off workers, the Labour Ministry had launched a ”Friends Help Friends” project under which they could be employed for two to three months in provinces that were not hit by the flooding.
A total of 599 factories in 46 provinces had signed on for the scheme with 71,112 jobs available. So far, a total of 11,775 affected workers had applied, he said.
Further information was availabe on the ministry’s website: www.labour.go.th or contact hotline 1546.
Labour Minister Padermchai Sasomsap said workers whose employment contracts had been terminated would not be jobless.
Mr Padermchai said there was nothing to worry about because these workers would get compensation and other benefits if they are unemployed. The ministry also has more than 100,000 jobs available for them.
The ministry had an agreement with the flood-affected industrial plants that they must not lay off workers if they want assistance from the government,welded mesh machine, he said.
Many manufacturers had agreed to resume operations and continue hiring their workers, he said.
“What I am concerned about now is a possible worker shortage problem.
“This is because some workers might not return to work due to concerns that the factories might be flooded and closed again,” said the minister.

Military Barriers/Hesco Bastions
Information
The QIAOSHI’s Military Barriers or Hesco Bastions is a modern gabion used for flood control and military fortification. It is made of a collapsible wire meshes container and heavy duty fabric liner, and used as a temporary to semi-permanent dike or barrier against blast or small-arms. One of the less heralded life- and labor-saving devices of war, it is used on nearly every United States Military base in Iraq as well as on NATO bases in Afghanistan.
Originally designed for use on beaches and marshes for erosion and flood control, the Hesco Bastion quickly became a popular security device in the 1990s.
Assembly
Assembling the Hesco Bastion entails unfolding it and (if available) using a front end loader to fill it with sand, dirt or gravel. The placement of the barrier is generally very similar to the placement of a sandbag barrier or earth berm except that room must generally be allowed for the equipment used to fill the barrier. The main advantage of Military Barrier, strongly contributing to their popularity with troops and flood fighters, is the quick and easy setup. Previously, people had to fill sandbags, a slow undertaking, with one worker filling about 20 sandbags per hour. Workers using Military Barrier and a front end loader can do ten times the work of those using sandbags.
The Hesco Barrier 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 46″ x 36″ x 32 (1.4m x 1.1m x 9.8m) to 7 x 5 x 100 (2.1m x 1.5m x 30m).
A new system of Hesco Bastion developed specially for military use is deployed from a container, which is dragged along the line of ground where the barrier is to be formed, unfolding up to several hundred meters of barrier in minutes,kanaami, ready for filling with soil by a backhoe.
Protection
Filled with sand, 60 centimetres (24 inches) of barrier thickness will stop rifle bullets and shell fragments. It takes 1.5 metres (five feet) of thickness to prevent penetration by a rocket propelled grenade round. Approximately 1.2 metres (four feet) of thickness provides protection against most car bombs.
