HESCO® SANGARS — GMS & EES
HESCO SANGARS provide blast- and ballistic-protected overwatch with full 360° visibility. Available as the Ground‑Mounted Sangar (GMS) or the Expeditionary Elevated Sangar (EES), they combine earth‑filled HESCO protective units with alloy components to create robust, modular positions that use locally available fill.
Why organisations choose this system
- Protected overwatch: geotextile‑lined, welded‑mesh units deliver ballistic and blast protection for crew and equipment.
- Two configurations: ground‑level GMS for fast emplacement, or EES to see over obstacles and perimeter fencing.
- Durable build: zinc–aluminium coated steel mesh with heavy‑duty, polypropylene geotextile.
