JOESCO barriers User Guide: What They Are and How to Use Them

What Exactly is a JOESCO barrier?

Put simply, a JOESCO barrier is a modern version of the old-fashioned sandbag. While traditional sandbags are small and slow to stack, a JOESCO barrier is a giant, foldable cage that can be filled quickly with a machine.

Structure Compositio

  • The Steel Mesh: A heavy-duty, galvanized wire frame that gives the barrier its shape and strength.
  • The Geotextile Liner: A thick, non-woven fabric inside the mesh that keeps the sand or earth from leaking out.
  • The Joiner Pins: These allow you to connect multiple units together to form a long, continuous wall.

Installation Instructions

  • Clear the ground, remove large rocks and unfold the Hesco unit.Position it properly and connect multiple units with joiner pins if needed.
  • Fill the cells evenly with sand, dirt or gravel,Then lightly compact the top to avoid air pockets.

How Long Do They Last?

  • In Normal Conditions: You can expect a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
  • In Harsh Conditions: If you are near the ocean (salt spray) or in a very acidic swamp, the lifespan might be 15 to 20 years.
