It is made of a collapsible wire mesh container and heavy duty fabric liner, and used as a temporary to semi-permanent levee or blast wall against explosions or small-arms. It has seen considerable use in Iraq and Afghanistan. Originally designed for use on beaches and marshes for erosion and flood control,〔''(Flood Fighting Structures Demonstration and Evaluation Program )'' — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center, Factsheet January 2006〕 the HESCO Bastion quickly became a popular security device in the 1990s.〔''(Engineers wall Dobol )'' — The Talon, Operation Joint Endeavour, Friday 6 December 1996〕 HESCO barriers continue to be used for their original purpose. They were used in 2005 to reinforce levees around New Orleans in the few days between Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita.〔''(HESCO Bastion — A simple approach to flood protection and much more )'' — ''Progressive Engineer'', 2006〕 During the June 2008 Midwest floods 8,200 metres of HESCO barrier wall were shipped to Iowa.〔''(Hammond company helps Midwest hold back flood )'' - David, David; ''Hammond Daily Star'', June 25, 2008〕 In late March, 2009, 10,700 metres of HESCO barrier were delivered to Fargo, North Dakota to protect against floods. Specifically, the brand name for the barrier is "Concertainer" (a portmanteau of "concertina" and "container"), with HESCO Bastion being the company that produces it,〔''(Ex-miner's £10m gift to good causes )'' - ''Yorkshire Post/Yorkshire Evening Post'', March 20, 2008.〕 though the barrier is generally called a HESCO Bastion, or colloquially a "Hesco". ==Development== The HESCO bastion was originally developed by Jimi Heselden, a British entrepreneur and ex-coal miner, who founded HESCO Bastion Ltd. in 1989 to manufacture his invention.〔("Owner of Segway Company Dies in Segway Accident" ) New York Times, Sept. 27, 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hesco bastion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
