Inthe event of a flood warning HESCO The unique design, strength and versatility Above Concertainer units can be deployed of the standard Concertainer unit and the quickly and easily to construct flood speciaized Fioodline unit means that defenses without the need for specialist corners, curves and angles can be easily tradesmen or equipment - making it constructed and there is no limit to the Opposite ndealfoi emergency response height or length of a HESCO Concertainer wall, provided that space for sufficent WAhether the increase in water level i base width is available gradual or due to sudden surge.
Concertaamer units and Floodline units provde a comprehensive solution to a wide range of flood defense requirements I

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
