​Product Overview​

The ​​JOESCO QS10 hesco barrier combines exceptional height (2.21m) with a reinforced width (1.50m) to address complex defense and engineering challenges. Designed as a 5-cell system spanning 7.5 meters in length, it offers enhanced stability on uneven terrain, making it ideal for blast protection, slope stabilization, and high-level flood control. Constructed from Galfan-coated steel mesh and a heavy-duty geotextile liner, the QS10 can be rapidly filled with on-site materials like sand, gravel, or crushed rock. Its balanced proportions allow it to withstand significant external pressures while maintaining efficient deployment times, serving as a reliable solution for military engineers and civil contractors working in demanding environments.

Key Features & Advantages​

  1. ​Optimized Stability from Wider Base​
    The 1.50m width provides a larger footprint, reducing the risk of tipping or shifting on soft or sloped ground. This design is critical for applications such as coastal embankments or explosive containment, where structural integrity is paramount.
  2. ​Rapid Deployment Capability​
    A standard crew can install 100 linear meters in under 4 hours using common excavation equipment. Pre-assembled connectors and a modular design streamline the setup process.
  3. ​Multi-Threat Resilience​
    • ​Blast Resistance​​: Withstands overpressure up to 15 PSI when filled with compacted aggregate.
    • ​Flood Control​​: Effective against water currents up to 3m/s, suitable for riverbank and coastal protection.
    • ​Slope Stabilization​​: The width and height make it effective for terracing and erosion control on steep inclines.

​Primary Applications​

  • ​Military Base Protection​​: Used to create high perimeter walls that protect against blasts and vehicle impacts. The 2.21m height provides added security for sensitive assets .
  • ​Slope & Erosion Control​​: Deployed on hillsides or riverbanks to prevent soil erosion and landslides. The 1.50m width ensures stability even on challenging terrain .
  • ​Industrial Site Security​​: Safeguards critical infrastructure such as oil refineries or power plants by containing explosions and diverting floodwaters .

​Why Choose the QS10?​

The QS10’s ​​1.50-meter width offers a strategic advantage in scenarios requiring both height and stability. For example, on a 30-degree slope, the wider base minimizes the need for additional anchoring, cutting installation time by 25% compared to narrower barriers. Its design is validated in real-world conditions, from military deployments to disaster response projects.

​Deployment Guide​

  1. ​Site Preparation​​: Clear and level the ground. On slopes >25°, use TerraLock anchors for added stability.
  2. ​Unfold and Connect​​: Expand units and link them with spiral connectors.
  3. ​Filling​​: Use local fill materials—compact in 30cm layers to achieve 95% density.
​Pro Tip​​: For blast protection, mix sand with rubber crumb (70:30 ratio) to enhance fragmentation absorption.
