Border Wall System Construction Rio Grande Valley, Texas.

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...

[GOPJ]

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

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

Levees are under the authority of “Red Castle”, the Army Corps of Engineers.
5:5?

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?

Or with suitable small arms fire so the invaders don't have the opportunity to try again.

I’d use Bacon grease. While it would attract a lot of bugs, it might cause the women and children to definitely not want to be going on the walls.

I mean, what with having to walk through and over a whole poop load of bugs...

If they don’t want to use Bacon grease, what about raw sewage?

No matter the nationality, I despise illegal immigrants.

The bacon grease would also keep the muslims from Africa away.

You underestimate them. Bacon grease, bugs, and raw sewage are part of their everyday life. - along with even more disgusting things.

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

Likely more important than building in heretofore unwalled stretches because the places already with walls are likely the easiest places to cross.

"Think a copter could spray with a fairly heavy grease to the walls"

For fun maybe, but the maintenance workload would be more trouble than its worth.

After the new Wall is finished, we have been rotating military units through to run a few coils of concertina on the back side (American side) of the anti-climb plates at the top. It makes it way harder to climb over with ladders or ropes, and lasts for many, many years untouched.

Be still my beating heart yeah president Trump. Best president ever

[bigbob]

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

BuildING the Wall!

[eartick]

gitter done

[eartick]

Grease is great for removing ticks. Great idea

[SuperLuminal]

The image of these walls with the remnants of invaders hanging in the wire with the vultures cleaning up is enough to give an old man a woody...

Where is that wall located?

[BeauBo]

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.

[BeauBo]

“Where is that wall located?”

South of Donna and Weslaco,Texas - which are just East of the larger city of McAllen, Texas (kind of like suburbs).

Six contracts have been awarded for a total of 108 miles (a mix of this levee wall system and normal “Trump-style” wall system) in the Rio Grande Valley. The great bulk of the open areas from Falcon Lake to Brownsville (which has Bush-era barrier) are now on contract for Trump-style “Wall System”, complete with towering bollards, excellent roads, stadium lighting, persistent fixed camera surveillance, cleared observation areas, and suites of alarms and sensors (monitored by artificial intelligence software).

All of those contracts are now gearing up to start work, with the great bulk of the Rio Grande Valley Sector scheduled to be walled by the end of next year - an epic game changer for the Border Patrol in that Sector (the Nation’s busiest area for illegal crossing).
