Engineering brief

HESCO Basket engineering overview.

01

Field problem

Build substantial protective or containment barriers while limiting transported bulk and installation time.

02

Engineered response

Collapsible galvanised welded-wire cells with a UV-stabilised geotextile liner, expanded on site and filled with compatible local material.

03

Operational value

Transport-efficient, modular protection for perimeters, temporary works, flood response and erosion-control applications.

Technical baseline

Configuration context

Public BWM specification: 3–5 mm wire with 50 × 50 mm, 75 × 75 mm or project-specific mesh; filled with sand, gravel, rubble, crushed stone or earth.

Final dimensions, materials, performance requirements and acceptance criteria remain project-specific unless stated in an approved technical offer.

Operational fit

Typical applications

  • Rapid perimeter and field-position protection
  • Flood-control and emergency containment works
  • Erosion management and temporary civil works

Project definition

Inputs confirmed before engineering

  • Required barrier height, width, alignment and modular arrangement
  • Wire diameter, mesh aperture and corrosion-protection specification
  • Geotextile grade and expected environmental exposure
  • Compatible local fill, ground preparation and installation access
