The HESCO MIL 10 is a multi-cellular, geotextile-lined welded mesh barrier system. It is shipped flat-packed on pallets and can be mechanically pulled open and filled with locally sourced materials (earth, sand, gravel, or crushed rock) using standard engineering equipment (such as a front-end loader). SPECIFICATIONS: • Unit Configuration: Multi-cellular, accordion/flat-pack design connected via heavy-duty helical/spiral jointing pins, allowing rapid mechanical deployment and filling via standard engineering equipment (front-end loader/excavator). • Nominal Dimensions (Expanded per Unit): - Height: Approximately 2.21 meters (7 ft 3 in) - Width: Approximately 1.52 meters (5 ft 0 in) - Length: Approximately 30.5 meters (100 ft 0 in) • Wire Mesh Construction: Welded wire mesh manufactured from high-tensile steel wire with a nominal thickness between 4.0 mm and 4.88 mm (6 to 8 Gauge). • Mesh Aperture/Grid: Nominal 76.2 mm x 76.2 mm (3 in x 3 in) spacing. • Corrosion Protection: Steel wire must be coated with Galfan (Zinc-Aluminum alloy) or Hot-Dipped Galvanized to withstand severe outdoor and maritime exposure without structural degradation. • Geotextile Liner: Heavy-duty, UV-stabilized, permeable, non-woven polypropylene geotextile fabric (minimum 250 g/m² weight) designed to retain earth/sand/gravel fill while permitting natural water drainage. • Color Options: Standard Military Tan/Beige or Olive Drab Green. • Logistical Packaging: Units must be shipped fully assembled, compressed, flat-packed on standard commercial/military-compatible pallets, and banded to prevent shifting during multimodal transport.
