Looking to the future, Russell believes HESCO’s recoverable units show commitment to the ongoing peacekeeping efforts in the Middle East during and after the draw-down of Nato troops. “The HAB 1 bunker is designed for accommodation, while HAB 2 is used more for bespoke applications such as medical facilities, and can be fitted with a sterile liner and storage space,” says Russell.
HESCO also manufactures kits to build habitable structures for soldiers to live and work in. New Recoverable Mil units can be opened from the side to let the earth filling out, then flat-packed and recovered back to the same pallet on which arrived, taking up no more space than the unused system. Even when they are dismantled, the wire from traditional gabions has to be dealt with.” “We decided to focus on the green issue, and given the draw-down from conflicts in the Middle East currently underway, the military does not want to leave infrastructure behind. “Until last year, only one unit the company made was reusable,” says Russell. “It alleviates the logistical burden and it has proven a favourite with soldiers as it is so quick.”Īlthough used to create semi-permanent structures, until recently dismantled structures could not be recovered and re-used. “Our RAID system deploys in 20ft containers and comes in three different sizes,” says Russell. Pre-connected lengths are stacked in a magazine and can be deployed to the required length from the back of a truck. HESCO’s Mil units are also available in a rapidly-deployable barrier system known as RAID. They have also been proven effective as a vehicle intrusion barrier, with the US Department of State awarding Concertainer units K-12 Certification, only given to products that can prevent a 15,000lb truck travelling at 50mph from penetrating by more than one metre inside a barrier. Movable fortresses: flat-pack Recoverable Mil units They have since been tested by 15 international authorities and are proven effective against a range of weapons, including small arms, grenades, mortars, artillery and vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED). When the Concertainer units, known as Mil, were first introduced, they were tested by the Ministry of Defence to assess their viability as a replacement for sandbags. The units are joined together with long pins to create the required structure, before being filled and manually compacted.
