JOESCO hesco Barrier QS6 – Tall & Compact 5-Cell Barrier for Enhanced Blast & Flood Defense

2025-10-13

Product Overview

The JOESCO QS6 hesco barrier is engineered for scenarios requiring greater vertical protection without a wide footprint. With a height of 1.68 meters, width of 0.60 meters, and length of 3.00 meters, this 5-cell unit delivers enhanced blast and flood defense while maintaining a compact, space-efficient design. Its taller profile makes it ideal for perimeter security, vehicle impact resistance, and water diversion in constrained areas. Constructed from Galfan-coated steel mesh and a durable geotextile liner, the QS6 can be filled with on-site materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed rock. The unit combines ease of transport with high-strength performance, enabling rapid deployment by small teams without heavy machinery.

Key Features & Advantages

Taller Protective Height: At 1.68 meters, the QS6 provides superior coverage against ballistic threats, vehicle incursions, and flood surges compared to lower models.
Space-Saving Design: The narrow 0.60-meter width allows for installation in tight spaces, such as urban checkpoints or narrow riverbanks.
Rapid Deployment: A 3-person crew can install 100 meters of barrier in under 4 hours using standard excavation equipment.
Reusability & Cost Efficiency: Fully collapsible and reusable, the barrier can be relocated across multiple projects, reducing long-term costs by 50% versus concrete alternatives.

Primary Applications

Military Perimeter Security: Ideal for forward operating bases (FOBs) and checkpoints, providing elevated protection against blasts and small-arms fire.
Flood Control: Used to build higher temporary levees in flood-prone areas, effectively diverting water and stabilizing slopes.
Construction Sites: Secures work zones with enhanced vertical barriers to contain debris and control access.
Erosion Prevention: Terraced configurations protect vulnerable slopes from soil erosion and water damage.
