Rapid‑Deploy Flood Barrier
HESCO® FLOODLINE™
HESCO® FLOODLINE™
Built on the proven MIL™ concept, FLOODLINE™ is a modular, earth‑filled flood barrier that deploys quickly without specialised trades or equipment. Flat‑packed for logistics, the geotextile‑lined, zinc–aluminium coated steel cells form robust walls that protect against floodwater and floating debris. Available in standard or recoverable variants.
Why organisations choose this barrier
- Fast emergency build: modular cells install quickly with common plant and local fill.
- Durable materials: non‑woven polypropylene geotextile; zinc–aluminium coated steel mesh; UV‑stabilised.
- Standard or recoverable: select recoverable FLOODLINE R units for easier post‑event removal.
- Designed for debris: fully lined to help minimise fill loss from debris impact.
- Proven performance: tested at USACE, Vicksburg, Mississippi.
- Colours: beige or green liners.
