Maccaferri® Defensive Barrier MAC is a multicellular structure made of welded wire mesh, specifically developed to provide force protection against a range of ordnance, explosive and vehicle attacks.
The mesh is internally lined with a non-woven geotextile to confine the filling material inside each cell. The lining is overlapped and attached to the top edge of the unit, while the lower part of the fabric is left loose in order to form a soil retention seal, once internally folded on site. The geotextile is specially designed to provide extended UV resistance compared to the standard non-woven geotextiles. Defensive Barrier MAC units are joined longitudinally, by using connecting pins to obtain the required length of the structure.

Available in a variety of sizes, Defensive Barrier MAC can be quickly deployed and filled in place to obtain a defensive modular barrier. The units can be stacked to form higher structures as needed to protect bases, camps, depots, vehicles or critical infrastructure. Units are also used in civilian environments to protect major buildings, airports or other facilities at risk of attack.

FUNCTION
Barrier
Prevents or reduces the movement of any fluid through the use of a geosynthetic barrier. Used to isolate one material from another. Common applications are landfills or ponds to prevent contamination of surrounding areas.
Protection
Geosynthetics can prevent acute damage caused by adjacent materials. Often used together with a barrier to ensure that surrounding areas will not be contaminated. Widely used on landfills, tunnel construction and dams.
