The reinforced blast wall panel is an upgraded Hesco-type barrier engineered for high-threat environments. The 2m length provides faster wall construction, while the 5.0mm wire and double-layer geotextile deliver enhanced protection against larger blasts and sustained fragment impact.
## Upgrade from Standard Hesco (ID 42)
| Feature | Standard (ID 42) | Reinforced (ID 43) |
|---------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Length | 1.0m | 2.0m |
| Wire | 4.0mm | 5.0mm |
| Geotextile | Single 200g/m2 | Double 350g/m2 |
| Blast Rating | Standard | Enhanced (+50%) |
| Deployment Speed | Fast | Faster (50% fewer units) |
| Cost per meter | Lower | Moderate |
| Application | General defense | High-threat FOBs |
## Construction
- **Mesh**: 5.0mm welded Zn-Al coated steel wire, 75mm x 75mm opening β 56% more steel than 4.0mm
- **Geotextile**: Double-layer heavy-duty PP non-woven (350g/m2 each layer = 700g/m2 total) β superior puncture and UV resistance
- **Internal Diaphragms**: 3 cells per panel (vs 1 in standard) β prevents fill migration in longer unit
- **Reinforced Edges**: Double-wire spiral binding at top and bottom β prevents mesh separation under blast load
- **Color**: Sand beige (military standard). Green and brown available.
## Key Advantages
- **Faster Construction**: 2m length = 50% fewer units to deploy for same wall length. Critical in active threat situations.
- **Enhanced Blast Protection**: Double geotextile + heavier wire absorbs 50% more blast energy than standard units.
- **Fragment Protection**: Double geotextile layer catches fragments that would penetrate single-layer units.
- **Structural Integrity**: Reinforced edge binding maintains panel integrity even if mesh is damaged by blast.
- **Multi-Stack**: Panels can be stacked 2-3 high for 2-3m walls using connector pins.
- **UV Resistance**: 700g/m2 total geotextile = 10+ year UV resistance in desert environments.
