Build me a brick wall!

Question

Challenge

I need help building a brick wall! Throw together some code for me using no input and produce the following output wall shown below:

_|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|__
_|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|__
_|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|__
_|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|__
_|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|__

Now, this wall is exactly 10 characters high and 70 characters wide.

As stated above, no inputs, only code. Least amount of bytes, we have to efficiently build this brick wall. Obviously, this program has to function to get the wall built..? or it obviously won't build itself! Good luck!

America is great

I would like to say this is one of the most verbose languages where almost everything fails to compile into a working program.

Apparently whether - works instead of minus is completely up to the interpreter and sometimes works. This time it did so I'm putting it in as golfed.

Abuses the fact Trumpscript is written in Python and therefore fact when used as an integer is one.

Golfing tips welcome.

BBC BASIC, 28 bytes

Tokenised filesize 23 bytes.

WIDTH70P.STRING$(175,"_|__")

WIDTH70 would normally be followed by a newline. It sets the field width to 70. Then we just print 175 copies of the string, which wrap around.

'_|__'700:)70e!

Of course, you can Try it online! Explanation:

'_|__' % Put a brick on the stack
700    % 700 times
:)     % Makes a happy mason...
70e!   % Secret freemason code

OK, actually, it works as follows:

'_|__' % Put the first bit of the string on the stack
700:   % Put 1, 2, ..., 700 on the stack as array
)      % Index into the string, modularly. Result: '_|___|__ ... __'
70e    % Reshape into 70 rows (and consequently, 10 columns)
!      % Transpose to get the desired output.

Clojure, 117 110 bytes

(fn[](println(apply str(map #(str(apply str %)"\n")(partition 70(subs(apply str(repeat 175 "_|__"))0 700))))))

Basically creates a long string of "_|__"s 700 characters long, cuts it every 70 characters, then joins them with newline.

Managed to get rid of the calls to join!

Ungolfed:

Charm, 87 bytes

f := " ___| " 18 repeat
s := substring pstring newline
[ f 2 72 s f 0 70 s ] 5 repeat i

Try it online!

Charm's repeat makes this kind of thing easy, but its syntax prevents very good scores regardless.

Explanation:

f := " ___| " 18 repeat " function to push 18 bricks " pop
s := substring pstring newline " we need to get a substring before printing it with a newline at two different points during the program, so we save bytes defining a function for it " pop
[ f 2 72 s f 0 70 s ] 5 repeat i " now we apply our functions, getting two slightly different substrings of the bricks from the f function and printing them, repeating this 5 times "
