WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Thursday afternoon U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the first four contractors that will build border wall prototypes in San Diego.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Ronald Vitiello addressed a room full of reporters on Thursday afternoon in Washington D.C. to make the announcement on the progress on border wall prototype construction.
Construction is now scheduled to begin in the fall, although CBP will be discussing the timeline with vendors.
Four contractors have been granted agreements to construct concrete border wall prototypes:
- Caddell Construction Co. (DE), LLC of Montgomery, AL
- Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., DBA Fisher Industries of Tempe, AZ
- Texas Sterling Construction Co. of Houston, TX
- W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Company of Philadelphia, MS
The prototypes will feature characteristics such as reinforced concrete and heights between 18 and 30 feet. They have been “designed to deter illegal crossings in the area in which they are constructed,” according to a CBP press release.
Too bad Disney Imagineering didn’t bid on the project, it would have been like Disneyland at the border!

Why does it have a tunnel? Double fence with mines in between always works.
Wouldn’t mind seeing it run north along the eastern borders of CA, OR and WA.
Or better yet, build a second one around that cesspool known as D.C.
I’m not sure if I understand the thinking of a tunnel as part of the design. What am I missing here?
The next democrat president will tear it down or cut huge holes through it.
It needs gators, cottonmouth and pirahna. Then run it North between CA and Nevada. This I consider acceptable.
Houston has 350 gators. All you need to do is catch them.
I was hoping Halliburton was on the list just to see the lefts heads explode. Again.
What about the Israeli firm that built Israel’s walls?
Tunnels – They Are For Leo’s To Venture Between The Two Countries, The Wall Is Not The Actaul Line Thats many Yards Away. When You Drive Back In’to The U.S From Mexico You’re Actually in The States For A Hundred Yards Before You Cross !
Trump doing in his first year what politicians have failed to do as promised for 30+ years
