yeah any big construction company had to have been having a few guys on this during the election, and a ton of them on it nov 9th.

as for the Seabees- not the scale for this. I did some back of the envelope math a while ago and this will require like 10% of the annual cement use in the country. (easily doable, its less then the change in cement use at the end of the housing bubble.
Call it 2,000 miles that’s 1.3 MILLION 8 foot wall sections.

If you had 1000 forms, and pulled them at 3 days drying per panel... thats 10 years of casting panels

this is literally the biggest project since thin interstate highways.

So the same back of napkin, says that if you pull forms each day, it’s 2 1/2 years. Run the project day and night. Pour during the day and strip forms 10-12 hours later, for precast non stressed sections it’s do- able, the possiblity of using slip forms,. Pour the sections SOG with slip forms horizontal and then transport them three days later, would require a prep’d Laydown yard, but you could use conex type yard cranes to move and load the panels. Saves having to set up and tear down forms and doing a monolithic unit like wall panels isn’t anything other than juggling schedule and other logistics. A condensed schedule, but completely doable.
