Why Choose Metal Mesh-Reinforced Hesco Barriers?
JOESCO’s Metal Mesh Hesco Barriers combine the proven strength of traditional Hesco baskets with an added layer of galvanized steel mesh. This hybrid design addresses critical vulnerabilities in high-risk environments:
- Blast & Ballistic Protection: The steel mesh layer absorbs shockwaves and fragments, achieving STANAG 4569 Level 1 certification (resistance to 7.62mm rounds).
- Erosion Control: 85% permeability rate prevents soil washout in flood zones while maintaining structural integrity.
- Chemical Resistance: Galfan®-coated mesh withstands acidic soils and saltwater corrosion, ideal for coastal industrial sites.
Applications of Metal Mesh Hesco Barriers in Industrial Safety
Case Study: Petrochemical Plant Protection
In 2023, a Texas refinery deployed JOESCO’s metal mesh Hesco barriers after vulnerability assessments revealed risks of accidental explosions. Post-installation data showed:
- 72% reduction in blast radius during controlled detonation tests.
- Zero corrosion damage after 18 months in coastal humidity.
Key Use Cases:
- Flood-Prone Facilities: Stackable barriers with mesh linings divert water without requiring concrete footings.
- Vehicle Bomb Mitigation: Deploy around fuel storage tanks or sensitive infrastructure.
- Temporary Firebreaks: Fill with local soil to block wildfire spread near industrial zones.
