When danger looms, who is building the “mobile steel fortresses”?
At 3 a.m. in a sensitive area of a certain country, a truck loaded with explosives sped toward a checkpoint. After a violent crash, smoke and dust filled the air, but the soldiers at the checkpoint emerged unscathed. What blocked the fatal impact was none other than the hesco barriers manufactured by Hebei Joesco Metal Products Inc. Amid the escalating local conflicts around the world, this protective equipment, hailed as a “guardian of the battlefield” by military forces of various countries, is safeguarding countless lives with its robust capabilities.
Joesco Metal: A Leader in Protective Equipment from Anping to the World
Founded in 2015, Hebei Joesco Metal Products Inc. is situated in Anping County, Hengshui City, renowned as the “Wire Mesh Capital of China.” It is a core enterprise integrating the design, R&D and production of security equipment, with a registered capital of 32 million yuan. Boasting four authoritative qualification certificates, three independent trademarks and more than a dozen technical patents, the company has focused on the blast wall sector for over a decade and has become a trusted partner of military and emergency response agencies worldwide.
With the mission of “making protection faster and more reliable”, Joesco has infused the rigorous essence of Chinese manufacturing into every set of hesco barriers. From the selection of raw materials to the testing of finished products, the entire process is under strict control, forming a full-chain service system covering R&D, production and logistics.
hesco barriers: A Quality Benchmark Proven in the Heat of Battle
On a battlefield in the Middle East, hesco barriers successfully withstood an IED explosion equivalent to 100 kilograms of TNT, absorbing 80% of the shock wave and leaving a field hospital 50 meters behind completely intact. In urban warfare in a Middle Eastern country, soldiers quickly filled the barriers with rubble and built a temporary fortress capable of defending against RPG-7 attacks in less than an hour. This exceptional protective performance stems from its sophisticated design and craftsmanship:
-
Military-grade materials: Welded from 4.0mm-5.0mm low-carbon steel wire, the surface is treated with hot-dip galvanizing (250g/m²) or zinc-aluminum coating (145g/m²), ensuring corrosion and rust resistance. It can be reused for more than 5 years in harsh environments such as desert sandstorms and coastal high humidity.
-
Multi-layer protective structure: Equipped with a 2mm thickened non-woven geotextile lining added with UV inhibitors, it can be filled with local materials such as gravel and sand while preventing the loss of fine particles. The single-layer protection height can reach up to 2.74 meters.
-
Authoritative certification guarantee: Passed live ammunition tests in multi-environment test sites, and obtained ISO 9001 quality management system certification and CE certification. It can resist the impact of a 7.5-ton vehicle traveling at 80 km/h and can be reused after simple repairs, even if damaged.
Production Capacity and Speed: Delivery Commitments in Times of Crisis
JOESCO has built a modern production base in Anping, equipped with automatic welding production lines and an intelligent warehousing system, enabling mass production of 12 types of hesco barriers with a daily output of 2,000 meters. Leveraging the logistics hub advantages of Tianjin Port and Qingdao Port, the company has established a 72-hour emergency response mechanism. In an urgent defense order from a certain country in 2024, 10 kilometers of QS7-type blast walls were delivered in only 14 days from order placement, helping local people fill the barriers with frozen soil in winter to form an “ice armor defense line” against RPG attacks. This efficient coordination between production and delivery has made hesco barriers an “emergency standard” in more than 90 countries and conflict zones around the world.
Global Footprint: A Full Spectrum of Protection from Battlefields to Civilian Life
From perimeter defense in military camps and anti-terrorism checkpoints on borders, to oil spill containment and flood control embankments after hurricanes, the applications of hesco barriers have long gone beyond the military field. As evaluated by the UN peacekeeping forces, “This barrier has changed the logic of traditional protection, making rapid deployment and reliable protection no longer mutually exclusive.”
Conclusion: Protecting World Peace with the Power of Defense
While the shadow of local conflicts lingers, hesco barriers are no longer just cold metal products, but “mobile defense lines” that carry the hope of life. With a decade of perseverance, Hebei Joesco has earned global recognition for China-made protective equipment. From the production workshops in Anping to the dangerous frontlines around the world, every set of hesco barriers fulfills the promise: when danger comes, we have already built a life barrier for you.
