The DefenCell™ Traverse System enables traditional traverse structures to be built using locally available soil or sand as a filling material. In desert conditions similar to those found in a number of conflict areas, wind-blown or dune sand, generally considered unsuitable for construction, can be successfully used to build traverses up to 5m high and greater.

Barriers can be built to provide protection for camps and hospitals, aircraft and helicopter protection, as well ammo and fuel depots.

The outside surface of the traverse can be treated on location to blend into its surroundings or enhance its resilience. The traverse and wall systems are versatile and can be combined to provide a vertical wall on one side of the structure, turn corners and accommodate uneven surfaces and obstacles.
