MINUSMA BASES

Problem

As part of the intervention of MINUSMA military forces in northern Mali, the construction of forward bases in Gao, Kidal and Tessalit required the use of defensive structures.

Solution

For this purpose, EBS Mac (multi-cell elements made from welded mesh panels connected by spirals) were used in large numbers. Each cell is lined on the inside with a geotextile retention envelope. The elements are aligned lengthwise, using Galmac-coated metal connecting bars to achieve the desired structural length. Defencell Mac is filled in situ with materials available on-site, ensuring rapid installation. 

The wires used comply with NF EN10223-7 for tensile strength, NF EN10218-2 for wire tolerances, and NF EN10244-2 for Galmac coating (quantity and adhesion).
