“This next generation of HESCO security barriers
build on our extensive experience in protection
and a deep understanding of how to respond to
changing threats,” shared Adam Wilding-Webb,
Director of High Security.
“The modular design of TERRABLOCK provides
the ability to easily and effectively upgrade site
and event security in response to changing threat
levels, whilst minimizing the installation impact
on the workforce and environment.”

The TERRABLOCK product range includes five
designs ranging from a low barrier for crowded
public events, engineered to stop attacks using
vehicles as a weapon, to a anti-climb M50P1
crash rated barrier that can stop a 7.5 tonne
truck travelling at 50mph.
“The importance of having the right solution is
paramount.”

HESCO TERRABLOCK has already been used
to protect Oil and Gas infrastructure, and most
recently event space and public arenas such as
the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds.
“Since the installation of the HESCO barrier, staff
and visitors have expressed that they feel more
reassured and safer for its presence,” said An-
drew Brown, Royal Armouries after the recent
installation of TERRABLOCK XL.
The installation team where incredibly patient,
making sure this truly was a solution for our
needs and the build was fast with no disruption
to our business.”
