HESCO® Firing Ranges
Build, extend and reshape live‑fire training safely. HESCO Firing Ranges use earth‑filled barriers to create multi‑vehicle assault bays, pistol/rifle lanes and maze‑style houses for close‑quarters training. Completely surface‑mounted and modular, the system is easy to deploy with local fill and simple to repair or reconfigure.
Why organisations choose this system
- Surface‑mounted: no permanent groundworks; deploy with local fill.
- Modular & evolving: re‑shape lanes and shoot houses as training needs change.
- Smaller footprint: tidier than traditional earth berms and easier to maintain.
- Easy upkeep: sections can be repaired or replaced quickly.
- Proven materials: UV‑stabilised geotextile with zinc–aluminium coated steel mesh.
Pre‑configured options (external dimensions & fill)
| Configuration | Size (m) | Units | Volume of fill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Range 25 | 23 × 15 | MIL10 × 6; MIL3 × 16; MIL5 × 8 | 756 m³ (988 yd³) |
| Range 50 | 46 × 23 | MIL10 × 4; MIL3 × 9; MIL5 × 5 | 1,223 m³ (1,599 yd³) |
| House 21 | 21 × 14 | SL4836 × 62 | 403 m³ (527 yd³) |
| House 20 | 20 × 23 | SL4836 × 92 | 598 m³ (782 yd³) |
All measurements are external dimensions only. With the correct design, wall heights over 12 m (40 ft) can be achieved.
