Border Wall Construction Progress – 5/28/29 – (1:08:46)
Foreman Mike discusses details of the border wall system I haven’t heard elsewhere. (Most of the good info is given by foreman Mike while they waiting in the vehicle.)
Kris Kobach give his talk later at the wall but the audio isn’t complete.

26:07/26:13 – Foreman Mike Fury: We’re actually using a superior grade metal instead of the normal steel. We’re using a higher grade of steel and the effectiveness is 75 year life; not 25 like everybody else is placing. We’ve got a little bit further too as far as reinforcing. We use 2, 1 inch pieces of hardened rebar that even if they get through the outside casing, then they have to get through the concrete, then they have to get through the rebar. Because we’re also filling the bollards 10 feet. So 3 feet above the ground.
– There’s absolutely no way on the planet that we won’t know that they’re coming or there. Also because of the fiber optics we put into the ground, it resonates in 47 feet in every direction. It can tell the difference between a rabbit, a human, a small vehicle, a truck. It’s just amazing what we’re doing. We’re giving them state of the art wall. The best you could possibly get.
27:20 – We’re installing the most advanced sensor system on the planet currently available and it resonates 47 feet in every direction. So when someone, let’s say a human or a truck shows up, it will also be able to tell the difference if it’s a truck, and animal, a human, and it’ll automatically alert Border Patrol and Customs and gives them an advanced warning system prior to them even getting to the wall.
27:52 – We’ve got some visual and audio deterrents that will also activate upon that.
28:08 – You’re getting the most advanced fiber optic technology you can possibly have along with automated lighting, backup systems, camera systems. The electronic and Wi-fi systems we’re putting in so DHS, IBWC and the Border; this is going to be the state of the art package.
28:31 – We’re also going a little bit further with WeBuildTheWall with Tommy Fisher and Fisher Industries. They’ve done an exceptional job. Army Corps of Engineers said we could not negotiate a 31 degree mountain; well, by Wednesday night we’ll be at the top of the mountain. We’ve reduced over 180,000 cubic yards of fill in a week. We’ve taken two mountains completely away; built the drive line, have everything at twelve to twelve and a half percent prior to going up to 31% grade of the mountain.
30:13 – We have the ability in place, on flat ground, to do a mile a day. This was our test on the worst terrain.
30:53 – My name is Mike Fury(?). I’m the Director of Construction Operations for WeBuildTheWall.
31:51 – We’ve already got 1,700 feet placed in the last 48 hours. We are testing with 6 machines. We are preparing to bring 30 machines to the project which will let us put 1 mile per day of bollard fencing and wall and fiber optics in the ground.
33:00 – This is the test to fill in all of the spots that the cartels use for drug trafficking and human trafficking.
33:29 – If you’ve ever watched a Bugs Bunny movie, we literally started construction last Sunday. I showed up Wednesday before construction started for pre-construction meetings and preparations. They had army helicopters that you can’t hear them, you can feel the wind, they were above us when they turn the lights on it was like a Bugs Bunny movie. There were hundreds of people running in every direction. The property owner is 85 years old, he’s a combat pilot, he’s properties, he’s terrified, he will not go from building to building on the property without carrying a weapon.
