PROTECTING TROOPS DOWNRANGE AND THEIR LOVED ONES BACK HOME
This product also acts as a fantastic ‘blast wall’ and surrounds the majority of US Military bases in deployed ‘hostile environments’. Ask about any US Military servicemember who has deployed, and they will know this product.
HESCO Bastion has stopped everything thrown at it from holding back 9’ of floodwater along the Mississippi to flying engine blocks propelled by hundreds of pounds of explosives designed to kill our troops serving in harms way. This is an amazing product with an amazing history!! There is a reason this is the predominant product of choice used by the USACE to protect the home front!
