In the event of a flood warning HESCO Concertainer units can be deployed quickly and easily to construct flood defenses without the need for specialist tradesmen or equipment
-making it ndeal foi emergency response The unique design, strength and versatility of the standard Concertainer unit and the speciaized Fioodline unit means that corners, curves and angles can be easily constructed and there is no limit to the height or length of a HESCO Concertainer wall, provided that space for sufficent base width is available Above Opposite WAhether the increase in water level i gradual or due to sudden surge.Concertaamer units and Floodline units provde a comprehensive solution to a wide range of flood defense requirements I
77 man hours 20 man minutes!To react effectively to emergency situations, speed and efficiency are of paramount importance The innovative design of the Concertainer unit makes them quick and easy to transport and deploy without the need for trained labor or specialized equipment A typical wall of Concertainer units.equivalent to 1500 sandbags can be erected and installed by two men using a standard front loader in lust 20 minutes A similar wall made with sandbags would take ten men around seven hours to build When empty, Concertainer units are compact and relatively hightweigrt, which makes them well suited for use where site access is limited If necessary, each empty Concertainer unit can be manhandled into position before being erected and filled Unlike sandbags, the units can be filled and positioned using minimal manpower, a standard bucket loader and almost any locally available material including sand gravel rocks, soil and concrete The units can be stacked and joined to provide structures designed to meet a specific threat and required level of protection Walls and protectve barricades can be built very quickly, with little need for complex nob planning or deliveries of secondary materials The system is ideal for the widest range of civil and miltary engineering installations, yet its use us cost effective, practical and highly efficient Seven hours and ten men. ov 20 minutes and two men? The answer is clear/\ji jI 9<Ut J!
Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav and the 500-year flood in the Midwest are recorded as the largest natural disasters to hit the US in the past decade With a range that can provide both Above segmented and continuous fill options.HESCO Concertainer flood protection walls can be used to protect against both gradual and sudden increases in water levels Storm rauns and storm surge can cause inland water levels to rise very quickly, leaving little tOme to react to the situation)Oposite Fast and simple to install versatile and effective in their uses, HESCO Concertarner flood barriers can be constructed rapidly to form new flood walls or to irmprove existin1 defenses And where a long term structure might be required such as on a river or canal bank Concertainer units can be planted with suitable grasses and other vegetatior to form a natural landscape as well as a protective structure
S.m~ 0S Sh Conera ne ui s stptuks. ed HESCO Concertainer units have been widely and successfully used for force protection in conflicts from Bosnia to Afghanistan Walls built from the units have been used around mlitary camps, guard posts, hospitals, stores and key public buildings such as embassies and consulates Across the world, this success has prompted the use of Concertarner systems to protect sensitive cvlian installations particularly at risk from terrorist attack such as embassies, consulates.
government buildings or refineries, production and processing installations, and power stations This was endorsed in the National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key Assets rssued by the Department of Homeland Security, which identified key tacnites which must be secured against the threat of physical attack, where disruption could have "significant impact on putic nealtr and safety, public confidence, and the economy 24
