HERMEQ’s precast breeze blocks serve as the foundation of secure hoarding ballast systems across the construction and infrastructure sectors. Designed to reinforce fencing against wind load and shifting, these interlocking concrete blocks are widely used as kentledge supports on temporary fencing lines. They offer both physical mass and ease of handling, making them a preferred solution for high-risk or exposed sites.
Each block includes a 16mm rebar lifting loop and a dedicated forklift slot for safe positioning and relocation. Cast to deliver a 50N/mm² compressive strength, these concrete barriers combine strength, stability, and mobility, helping maintain safety and compliance throughout the duration of your project.
Key features & benefits:
- Forklift and hook handling options – Built-in rebar loop and lifting slot improve site logistics and safety.
- Concrete block for retaining wall or fencing base – Designed for horizontal stability under wind load conditions.
- Industrial-grade breeze blocks – Withstand demanding site conditions and maintain structural support.
- Compliant with site safety regulations – Manufactured to high compressive strength and durability standards.
- Easy to position and reuse – Can be deployed, lifted, and relocated quickly across multiple job sites.
From urban development to rural infrastructure, these interlocking concrete blocks are a practical, long-term solution for securing temporary structures. Designed with versatility in mind, they integrate with HERMEQ’s hoarding and fencing systems to provide peace of mind where it matters most.

These precast breeze blocks are manufactured with reinforced concrete designed to exceed 50N/mm² compressive strength after a 28-day cure. Each block includes an inverted “V” rebar lifting hook and integral forklift slot to facilitate efficient handling and precise positioning on construction sites. They are purpose-built to act as ballast or kentledge for hoarding fence systems that must withstand variable wind pressure and site activity.
- Wind-resistant base solution – Helps secure fencing systems in open or elevated environments.
- Durable surface finish – Suitable for long-term or repeated deployment on hardstandings or rough terrain.
- Efficient load distribution – Concrete block geometry supports stability without trenching or foundations.
Trusted by contractors for performance and consistency, HERMEQ’s hoarding ballast blocks help you meet safety obligations and maintain structural integrity for temporary perimeters.
