Hesco boxes, often referred to as Hesco Barriers or Rapid Deployable Barriers, are modern gabion-like structures used for force protection and flood control.
They consist of collapsible wire mesh containers with a heavy-duty fabric liner and are filled with sand, dirt, or gravel.
Rapid Deployment Barrier modules are strong fortification structures made out of welded mesh panels lined by geotextile fabric.
Sand /Debris/Stones etc.
are used as filler material to provide strength. They are used mainly for rapid installation of bunkers and can be raised to up to 6m height easily.
Hesco Boxes are widely used to create bunkers at a fast pace near international borders.
Ayam Weldmesh Rapid Deployment Barriers are used & designed for the protection of personnel at base camp fortifications and army camps in India.
Rapid Deployment barriers can also be used for fortification of any facility that is prone to external threats.
RDBs also called Rapid Deployment Barriers are flat packed and can be easily assembled and extended to the desired length.
RDBs can be assembled into war configurations to protect army personnel from bullets and ballistic attacks.
They can also be called blast protection fences.
Ayam Weldmesh provides these Rapid Deployment Barriers which act as a defence wall during war.
Ayam Weldmesh provides RBD that can also be used as a ballistic barrier to create shooting ranges, shoot houses, vehicle assault bays, and ammunition storage facilities.
Ayam Weldmesh RDB can withstand impacts of machine gun bullets, artillery & rocket attacks.
The geotextile is manufactured to withstand high UV rays and provides long life in harsh climates.

Military and Security: Hesco boxes are widely used by military forces around the world for their rapid deployment capabilities.
They serve as protective barriers against blasts, small arms fire, and to establish perimeters around bases or checkpoints.
Flood Control: Due to their ability to be quickly deployed and filled, Hesco boxes are used in emergency situations to act as flood barriers, protecting infrastructure and residential areas from rising water levels.
Erosion Control: Hesco boxes can be used to stabilize soil in areas prone to erosion, especially near water bodies or in hilly terrains.
Traffic Control: In certain scenarios, these barriers can be used to redirect or control the flow of vehicular traffic, especially in conflict zones or during major public events.
Material: The primary materials used in a Hesco box are galvanized steel for the wire mesh and a non-woven geotextile for the liner.
Size: Hesco boxes come in various sizes, with common dimensions being 4’6” x 3’6” x 32’ (height x width x length).
However, sizes can be customized based on specific needs.
Fill Material: Typically filled with sand, dirt, or gravel.
The choice of fill material can depend on the intended use and availability.
Assembly: Hesco boxes are designed for rapid deployment.
They are shipped flat-packed and can be set up in minutes using minimal manpower.
