Having successfully deployed HESCO security barriers at the London 2012 Olympics, the five-year development has seen TERRABLOCK evolve in response to security challenges now faced, creating a unique security barrier, integrating earth-filled vehicle barriers and climb resistant weldmesh panels.
“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 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 Andrew 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.”
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 traveling at 50mph.

The development team behind TERRABLOCK include security and military specialists working closely with end-users and testing centers to create a product that blends into the built environment, reassures the workforce and general public, and most importantly delivers safety and security to deter sabotage and mitigate threats.
HESCO TERRABLOCK is a patented range of surface mounted, high security barriers, designed, engineered and tested to deliver hostile vehicle mitigation and deter unauthorized access.
The combination of an integrated vehicle barrier and climb resistant weldmesh panel enables rapid installation through a single, surface mounted system, removing the need for foundations, giving users the ability to upgrade security in response to changing threat levels, with minimal disruption to operations.
