When space is limited but protection is critical, the JOESCO QS1 HESCO barrier delivers. Measuring 5.0 meters long, 1.00 meter wide, and 1.37 meters high, this 5-cell unit packs massive defensive capability into a compact, portable system. I’ve watched military engineers deploy 100 meters of QS1 barrier in under 2 hours—unfold, fill with local sand/gravel, and secure. Whether you’re fortifying a checkpoint, stabilizing a riverbank, or isolating a construction zone, the QS1 balances ease of transport with proven impact resistance.
