On the border with Mexico will test a few samples of walls

Customs and border protection, U.S. (CBP) — the Agency responsible for the process of construction of boundary wall, construction plans from 4 to 8 prototypes of walls in San Diego «this summer». This was stated on Monday by the acting Deputy Commissioner of CBP Ronald Vitiello. He said that the Agency relies on manufacturers to use innovation and modern materials. The construction of the several samples will allow you to choose the most optimal and might be useful as well as financial sensible option.

In the construction of the wall, CBP entered into a «second phase» of the process and is currently reviewing and evaluating the bids for the prototypes. However, contracts with possible manufacturers not yet been concluded. Today are considered two possible variants of design of reinforced concrete and alternative materials.

Vitiello, said: «If we do this correctly, the wall will be «important» and effective».

According to preliminary data, more than 200 companies responded to the government’s proposal for the construction of the wall. Previously, CBP has stated that it plans to enter into contracts until June 12, and July 21 to begin construction, but by the time no contract was not signed.

On 12 June, in his report, the head of the CBP reported that some delays in the programme due to procedural intricacies of matching funding with the Department of homeland security. But then he hastened to reassure the public: «We are on schedule».

Anyway, the project to build the wall with Mexico will face difficulties in its path. The presidential administration will get the support of Congress, but it’s obvious that the success of the White house no doubt.
