blast walls

Protective concrete barriers

Blast walls are heavy barriers designed to absorb or deflect the force of explosions, protecting nearby structures and people from bomb blasts, industrial accidents, or terrorist attacks.

They're typically made of reinforced concrete, steel, or sand-filled containers and are common around military installations, embassies, and high-security buildings: Blast walls lined the perimeter of the compound.
