Feasibility Study for the Wall?

[canetoad]

I've searched for the final report into the feasibility of building a border wall and surprise, surprise - can't find it anywhere.

You know, the indepth study by a reputable civil engineering company into the technical, economic, legal, operational and scheduling issues that will arise before and during construction.

If anyone has any clue as to where this study may be found, I'd sure appreciate a link.

1. From what I understand; there is no such engineering report...

That the specs would come directly from the contractor awarded whichever design is agreed upon.

I’ve been known to be wrong; so please correct me if I’m incorrect.

2. Meaning the lucky contractor

Will have no idea what problems they are up against when they quote a price?

3. Take a look at this:

Gives quite a perspective on how over his head he is on “just build a wall!”

4. Yeah, I'd read that post thanks

But no mention of a proper feasibility study.

5. I work for an arch firm...

If there is no geo study, there ain't gonna be a wall.

More over, if they started the process for a study, for a Wall that long, the wall wouldnt even start until he's long out of office.

Meaning it will never happen anyway.

This is all about the orange asshole desperately wanting a win.

He's defending the wrong hill as most fools do

7. I'm guessing the study

would include an Environment Impact Study? If so, that alone can take years.

9. Spot on.

And the more I think about it, the study should not be into a wall, as such. The scope should be 'How can the border be made secure'.
Maybe a wall would come up in the results, but I doubt it.

(I too, still do some work for a couple of archi companies.)

10. It's just so crazy

For a real estate guy who claims to "build" things he is showing that he really knows shit about building anything

6. This is a kakistocracy

not a rational. thoughtful government

8. Probably claim they do not need one in a National Emergency.

I know it's bullshit BUT Who the hell will stop them??
