At the link is a short (2 min) video of the first of the massive FEMA Hurricane certified levee wall system, now under construction in the Rio Grande Valley in Southern Texas.

Foundations have to be deep and massive, requiring multiple steps/concrete pours. Construction will take longer for these miles.

The largest share of the 108 miles of Wall System contracted in the Rio Grande Valley Sector will be the regular trench foundation system, but for the low-lying area East of McAllen, we will need a good bit of this kind of Levee Wall System.

Essentially, they are building a new massive reinforced concrete levee, right in front of the existing earthen levee. These first bollard panels so far are of the 18 foot type, standing on top of the new levee (which itself is typically about ten fen feet tall, but varying by the local high water elevation).

Because of the intense trafficking in this area, this levee wall system will have all the bells and whistles for lights, cameras, alarms, sensors, patrol roads and cleared observation areas (150 feet to the South).

A big huge beautiful wall...

Lots of ‘fixing’ of broken torn down sections before the real building can start...

‘Effective at stopping’ the flood of illegals is first...

Think a copter could spray with a fairly heavy grease to the walls to assist the unwanted guests find their way down quickly....on the side they were trying to leave?

In before the armchair experts who piss and moan “it’s not tall enough” and “they can cut it with sawzalls”

BuildING the Wall!

gitter done

I know you like to see heavy concrete for the wall, so I did not want you to miss this part.

These are going to be the most massive segments - best I could do for you.

The towering 30 foot secondary barrier in San Diego is now closing some of the steeper terrain between San Diego and Tijuana, that previously had no secondary barrier - just a single run landing mat fence and dirt road/ATV path (so it might be considered some "new" mileage).

Along with a a double run of massive bollards, topped with anti-climb plate and concertina, this previously wild gap is now completely served with excellent all weather patrol road, a cleared enforcement/observation zone, and getting the suite of lights cameras, alarms and sensors, that make the total Trump-style Wall System so effective. Super Barrier.

San Diego's Secondary barrier is on track for completion in January - double barrier wall system from the Ocean to Otay Mountain, East of San Diego.

A follow-on project to extend the new San Diego barrier through the rugged Eastern mountains, to meet up with the existing barrier on the other side, has already been approved for funding out of the DoD emergency funds, which will be going on contract in the next few weeks/months.

Wanted to take a moment and thank you for the updates and details on the Wall.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated and I look forward to each of your postings.

Thanks again.

Then land-mine the approaches, job complete.

Electrify sections of this wall/barrier. Not enough to kill but enough to prevent anyone from touching it for more than a split second.

You seem to know a lot about this. I have heard that the whole of Trump’s wall will actually cost less than obama’s affordable care website or something like that. Is this true?

Great work !

Yuuuge wall !!

Thanks for all the photos/video of the “REPAIRS” to the border “FENCE” /s
