Containerised Rapid‑Deployment Barrier System
HESCO® RAID™ (Rapid In‑Theatre Deployment)
HESCO® RAID™ (Rapid In‑Theatre Deployment)
Roll out hundreds of metres of MIL™ barrier in minutes. RAID loads pre‑connected lengths of HESCO units into a modified container so you can tow out a continuous wall and fill with local material for instant protection. Containers can deploy standard MIL or recoverable MIL‑R units.
Why organisations choose this system
- Standard or recoverable: deploy conventional MIL or recoverable MIL‑R units from the same container.
- Proven construction: mesh frames with heavy‑duty non‑woven polypropylene geotextile liners.
