Trump’s Border Wall Prototypes Are Ready To Compete For Federal Contracts

Brittish tabloid newspaper, the Daily Mail, obtained some drone shots that show the fully completed border wall prototypes that are contesting to be the new Mexican border wall that President Donald Trump has been promising since he first started campaigning.

The companies vying to be part of the new GOP venture and that have totally completed their imposing structures are Maryland’s ETLA North America Inc, Caddell Construction Co, LLC, of Alabama, who presented two prototypes, Texas Sterling Construction Co. of Houston, KWR Construction of Sierra Vista or Arizona, who has only presented an outline of the wall they are going to build, and Arizona’s Fisher Sand & Gravel which was the first to complete construction of its prototype.

Let’s take a closer look at each prototype.

Maryland’s ETLA North America Inc is not really American, it’s actually an Israeli defense company, a country that has used walls to solve their problems before. This wall features a concrete base and the top two-thirds of the wall feature navy blue metal panels.

Caddell Construction Co, LLC, of Montgomery, Alabama built two different prototypes, the one you can see on the picture above, resembles the bollard-style fencing that allows CBP officers to see to the other side and immigrants to stare longingly from their own side. The top half of the wall has solid concrete panels that can instantly shut down any desires to cross it.

This other wall by Caddell Construction Co, LLC, of Montgomery, Alabama features a slope on the American side and is flat solid on the Mexican side.

The prototype presented by Arizona’s Fisher Sand & Gravel was among the first to be completed, it features one of the simplest designs, being just a solid tan and flat concrete wall that will most likely blend in the desert that it could sit in.

And finally, we have the Texas Sterling Construction Co. of Houston prototype which truly resembles the now fallen Berlin Wall.  It features flat concrete panels with fencing pointing towards Mexico, making it look very imposing and intimidating, to say the least.
