Winter in northern China is bitterly cold. Yet inside the production workshops of JOESCO in Anping County, known as the Hometown of Wire Mesh, the atmosphere is abuzz with feverish activity. The roar of machinery reverberates constantly, every process on the assembly line is executed with pinpoint precision, and workers in overalls focus intently on every production detail. At the factory gate, a row of containers stands in neat formation, ready to carry JOESCO hesco barriers to a country in South America, building a safety shield for the people there.
We have always cherished the yearning for peace, but the shadow of war and conflict has never fully faded in reality. Faced with potential dangers, only a solid safety line built with superior quality can safeguard lives and property in critical moments—and this is the belief that JOESCO hesco barriers adheres to. From the initial concept of product design and R&D to repeated exploration in technological breakthroughs, from stringent multi-layer screening of raw materials to comprehensive testing and trials before products roll off the line, every step embodies the dedication and craftsmanship of the JOESCO team. Among all these, the series of near “extreme” rigorous tests best demonstrates the product’s hard-core strength.
To verify the blast resistance of JOESCO hesco barriers, the team specially conducted a 600kg TNT detonation test. At a professional testing site, the moment the TNT explosive was ignited, a massive shockwave sent gravel flying in all directions, shrouding the area in smoke and dust. Once the smoke cleared, testers immediately entered the site for inspection. Data showed that JOESCO’s barriers not only successfully withstood the violent impact of the shockwave with no fatal structural damage, but also effectively blocked the spread of shrapnel, minimizing the secondary injuries caused by the explosion.
Targeting the common artillery threats on the battlefield, JOESCO hesco barriers have successively undergone artillery impact tests with shells of different calibers: 122mm, 130mm, and 152mm. During the tests, shells struck the barriers with tremendous kinetic energy, each impact a life-or-death trial. After multiple rounds of testing, JOESCO hesco barriers demonstrated astonishing impact resistance—even against the bombardment of 152mm large-caliber shells, it maintained the integrity of its core protective structure, building a sturdy life barrier for the rear areas.
Static blast tests examine product performance from a more meticulous perspective. In these tests, the team precisely controls explosive energy to simulate blast impacts in different scenarios and collects real-time data such as stress and deformation at all parts of the barriers. Based on each set of data, the team repeatedly optimizes structural design and adjusts material ratios, ensuring that JOESCO hesco barriers can stably exert their protective effect in various complex explosive environments.
Considering the risk of accidental ramming and breaching that may occur in wartime scenarios, JOESCO hesco barriers have also undergone a heavy-duty truck full-load impact test. A heavy-duty truck loaded with cargo crashed into the barrier at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and the enormous impact force was transmitted to the entire structure in an instant. The test results showed that the barrier successfully stopped the truck from advancing further, with only controllable damage and deformation to itself, and could be restored for use after simple repairs.
Test after test, and an accurate set after set of data, witness the continuous upgrading of JOESCO hesco barriers’ quality. Every test far exceeds industry standards, and every improvement is made solely to pursue a higher safety factor. The JOESCO team is well aware that behind every BARRIER lie countless precious lives and inestimable property. Only by forging hard-core quality through extremely rigorous testing can we become a reliable safety guardian when danger strikes. Today, JOESCO hesco barriers is taking this proven quality to the world, building a solid line of defense that safeguards lives and hope for more people across the globe.
