Bastion Barrier – Military and Flood Control | BMP

A Bastion Barrier, also known as a blast wall, is a versatile and robust defensive barrier designed to protect personnel, equipment, and properties from attacks, natural disasters, or high-risk situations. These barriers, widely used in military defense and flood control applications, are essential for safety in critical locations. BMP’s Bastion Barriers combine strength, durability, and ease of installation, making them the perfect choice for high-security and disaster response projects.

What is a Bastion Barrier?

The Bastion Barrier is a collapsible, multi-cell structure made of welded wire mesh panels connected by spiral joints and lined with heavy-duty polypropylene geotextile. The barriers are filled with soil, sand, gravel, or other locally available materials to create a solid and impenetrable barrier. BMP offers standard and recoverable types of bastion barriers to meet a wide range of security and environmental needs.

Applications of Bastion Barrier

1. Military Defense:
   • Protects troops and equipment from gunfire, rocket-propelled grenades, and explosive devices.
   • Defines boundaries for military bases and checkpoints.
2. Flood Control:
   • Mitigates flood damage by acting as a barrier to rising waters.
   • Prevents soil erosion and protects critical infrastructure.
3. Storm Control:
   • Shields coastal areas and wetlands from storm surges and wave impact.
4. Critical Infrastructure Protection:
   • Safeguards airports, power plants, and government buildings from threats.
5. Disaster Response:
   • Provides rapid deployment for emergencies, ensuring protection in high-risk zones.

Advantages of BMP Bastion Barrier

1. Robust and Reliable:
   Once filled with materials like sand or gravel, the barrier forms a solid, impenetrable structure.
2. Quick Deployment:
   Easily deployed by unfolding and filling, saving time and labor compared to traditional sandbags.
3. Recoverable Design:
   BMP’s recoverable barriers allow easy removal of fill material by removing one joint pin. This design minimizes environmental impact and reduces project costs.
4. Customizable Solutions:
   Available in various sizes and configurations to suit different applications.
5. Cost-Effective:
   The collapsible design enables flat-packing, which reduces transportation and storage costs.

Installation Process for Bastion Barrier

1. Unpack and Position:
   Unpack the pre-assembled barrier from its pallet and place it in the desired location.
2. Expand the Units:
   Unfold the units and connect them to form a continuous wall.
3. Fill the Barrier:
   Use locally available materials, such as soil, sand, or gravel, to fill the barriers.
4. Compact the Fill:
   Compact the materials to ensure stability and structural integrity.
5. Stack Additional Layers:
   Add more layers if required to achieve the desired height.
