Construction workers building the Border Wall Prototypes, look like they are making great progress in only 11 days, the department also wrote in a Tweet last Friday.
A video released by CBP Sunday show the progress of construction efforts near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego.
In September the agency selected six companies to produce eight prototypes which meet the Trump administrations requests for a physical structure between 18-30 feet high and designed to deter illegal crossings.
Of the eight mock designs, four would be built using concrete, and four would be constructed with alternate or other materials.
Solicitations for contractors on the FedBizOpps.gov site in March specified designs sought would be concrete wall structures, nominally 30 feet tall, that will meet requirements for aesthetics, anti-climbing and resistance to tampering or damage.
The Washington Examiner reported earlier this month that the companies involved – Caddell Construction Company of Alabama, Fisher Sand & Gravel Company from Phoenix, Houston-based Texas Sterling Construction Company, and W.G. Yates and Sons Construction Company out of Philadelphia, Miss. – were all awarded a budget of $300 million to build their prototypes, which are set to be completed by October 26.
