JOESCO hesco Barrier QS5- Versatile 5-Cell Barrier for Rapid Deployment & Multi-Threat Protection

2025-10-13

Product Overview

The JOESCO QS5 hesco barrier combines compact dimensions with high flexibility, making it ideal for rapid-response scenarios. Measuring 0.60 meters in height, 0.60 meters in width, and 3.00 meters in length, this 5-cell unit is engineered for quick deployment and adaptability across diverse environments. Constructed from Galfan-coated steel mesh and a durable geotextile liner, the QS5 can be filled with on-site materials like sand, gravel, or soil to create instant protective walls. Its modular design allows for seamless interconnection and stacking, providing scalable solutions for both temporary and semi-permanent applications. Weighing approximately 30 kg when empty, it is portable enough for manual handling yet robust enough to withstand significant pressure from floods, blasts, or erosion.

Key Features & Advantages

Rapid Deployment: A small team can unroll, interconnect, and fill the QS5 in minutes, enabling the setup of 100-meter barriers within hours.
Multi-Threat Resilience: Effectively mitigates flooding, ballistic fragments, and vehicle impacts when properly filled and compacted.
Cost-Efficiency: Reusable design allows for multiple deployments across projects, reducing long-term costs by 50% compared to concrete alternatives.
Eco-Friendly: Uses locally sourced fill materials, minimizing transport emissions and waste.

Primary Applications

Military Checkpoints: Creates quick perimeters to channel vehicles and absorb blast impacts.
Flood Control: Stacked units form temporary levees to divert water and stabilize riverbanks.
Construction Sites: Secures work zones, contains debris, and reduces noise pollution.
Erosion Prevention: Terraced configurations protect slopes from soil degradation.

Why Choose the QS5?

The QS5 strikes a balance between portability and performance. Its 5-cell design ensures structural integrity while maintaining ease of transport and storage. For example, in post-disaster scenarios, responders have used QS5 barriers to quickly secure evacuation routes without heavy machinery. The unit’s compatibility with common fill materials further enhances its suitability for remote or resource-limited locations.

Installation Guide

Site Prep: Clear debris and level the ground.
Unfold & Connect: Expand units and link them with spiral connectors.
Fill & Compact: Add fill material in layers, compacting every 30 cm.
Secure & Stack: Anchor ends on slopes; stack additional layers if needed.

Pro Tip: Use angular stones or clay-rich soil for better interlocking and stability.

Comparative Advantage

Unlike rigid concrete walls, the QS5 adapts to terrain shifts and can be relocated effortlessly. Its galvanized steel resists corrosion for 10+ years, even in humid or coastal conditions.
