    A new security or boundary fence is being installed along a flat, open landscape, likely a rural or semi-industrial area. The fence consists of concrete posts with wire mesh netting laid in a trench at the base, suggesting anti-burrowing or high-security installation. A road with a parked or passing car and a secondary wooden post-and-rail fence are visible in the background.

    Intermediate concrete fence posts and complete horizontal straining wires are put in position, awaiting installation of the chain link metal fence which is rolled out on the ground adjacent July 26, 2012. The base perimeter is being extended near the A1101 roundabout at the east end of RAF Mildenhall’s airfield in order to secure the building site. The field is being transformed into a taxiway extension and will provide extra room which allows swifter takeoffs for heavy aircraft. Currently, heavy aircraft have to back-taxi to the end of the overrun and turn around, which puts stresses both on the runway and the undercarriage of the aircraft.

    An active construction or land development site showing heavy earthmoving equipment working on a large cleared area. The ground has been stripped of vegetation and shows disturbed sandy soil with tire tracks and excavation marks. The site appears to be in a rural or semi-rural setting bordered by trees and open grassland.
    Two construction workers in high-visibility safety gear are installing concrete fence posts along a trench in an open grassy field. One worker steadies a post while the other uses a spade to pack or excavate soil around its base. A line of previously installed posts extends into the background, suggesting a perimeter fencing project in progress.
