    A construction or infrastructure worker in safety gear observes a large excavation site, likely a lock or dam structure undergoing major rehabilitation or repair work. The scene shows a drained lock chamber with exposed concrete walls, excavated earth, and construction equipment visible in the background. The setting appears to be along a river, with hills and residential areas visible in the distance.

    Shawn Soltis, a field engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, conducts his morning checks at Locks and Dam 4 near Charleroi on the Monongahela River in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, April 5, 2022. As the excavation and demolition phase nears completion, the project has transitioned to construction, which includes prepping the miter sill for concrete placement, running electrical, finishing the foundation for the bulkhead sill, pouring concrete, anchoring the river wall and more. The Charleroi project began in 2004. The federal government funds half of the project’s cost, while the other half is covered by navigation industry through taxes paid on diesel fuel.

    A worker in safety gear walks along a metal walkway at what appears to be a river lock or dam facility. The industrial waterway infrastructure includes lock chambers filled with green water, yellow-painted barriers, and facility buildings set against a wooded hillside. The image is taken in late autumn or winter based on the bare trees and low sun angle.
    A construction or infrastructure worker in safety gear observes a large excavation site, likely a lock or dam structure undergoing major rehabilitation or repair work. The scene shows a drained lock chamber with exposed concrete walls, excavated earth, and construction equipment visible in the background. The setting appears to be along a river, with hills and residential areas visible in the distance.
    Three construction or industrial workers are gathered at what appears to be a lock and dam facility, with one worker holding a mobile phone, likely reviewing plans or communicating. A large yellow gantry crane labeled 'TRAVELIFT' dominates the background, along with a concrete control tower. The workers are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment including hard hats, gloves, and high-visibility clothing.
    Three workers in personal protective equipment are engaged in a lighthearted conversation at an industrial worksite, likely a dam, lock, or waterway facility. The worker on the left is laughing openly while the center worker faces away from the camera. The setting appears to be an outdoor industrial platform with structural metal components visible.
    An industrial facility featuring a large yellow MJ70HD Travelift crane dominating the foreground, with a worker in high-visibility safety gear walking beneath it. The setting appears to be a heavy industrial or marine/lock facility with concrete structures, yellow safety railings, and large machinery visible in the background. The overcast sky and industrial infrastructure suggest an active operational environment.
    A construction site showing workers operating aerial lift platforms around large structural steel pipe columns in an excavated area. Two separate elevated work platforms are in use — an orange Genie boom lift and a blue scissor/personnel lift — with workers in high-visibility safety gear performing work on or near the columns. The site appears to be a deep foundation or below-grade construction project.
    A male worker in high-visibility safety gear walks along a concrete surface at what appears to be a large industrial or civil engineering construction site, likely a dam or lock facility. He is wearing a white hard hat with a red stripe, an orange and blue jacket, and black gloves. The background reveals heavy construction equipment including a yellow gantry crane, concrete structures, and an overcast sky.
    A large-scale civil engineering construction project is underway inside a drained river lock chamber, likely part of a dam or navigation lock system. Heavy construction equipment is actively working on the floor of the lock between massive concrete walls. The setting appears to be a river valley with wooded hills visible in the background under overcast skies.
    The image shows heavy construction equipment operating inside a drained river lock chamber, likely undergoing major rehabilitation or maintenance work. Multiple John Deere and Caterpillar machines are working along the muddy floor between tall concrete lock walls. The setting appears to be a large inland waterway navigation lock, possibly on a major U.S. river system.
    A large-scale urban excavation construction site showing deep earth removal within a confined corridor bounded by retaining walls. Multiple Caterpillar (CAT) excavators are actively digging and moving soil, with construction workers visible on site. The site appears to be a major infrastructure project, possibly a tunnel, subway, or deep foundation excavation.
    A construction worker wearing a white hard hat and high-visibility vest walks across a muddy job site while talking on a phone. In the background, a large concrete dam or lock structure with yellow safety railings is visible, along with a yellow Caterpillar bulldozer (model 963K) operating nearby. The scene appears to be an active civil engineering or infrastructure rehabilitation project, likely at a river lock or dam facility.
    A close-up shot of an excavator bucket actively dumping wet, dark soil or mud at a construction excavation site. In the background, a yellow excavator (likely Caterpillar) is visible operating within a deep excavation pit with concrete retaining walls. The image captures active earthmoving work in progress.
    A construction worker is actively drilling or operating a power tool at ground level near a concrete wall or foundation. He is wearing full personal protective equipment including a white hard hat, safety glasses, high-visibility vest, and work gloves. The setting appears to be an active excavation or foundation construction site with muddy, disturbed ground.
    A construction worker in high-visibility safety gear navigates a muddy, waterlogged excavation site. The deep urban construction pit features sheet pile walls, exposed rock faces, and various heavy equipment. The site appears to be a major underground infrastructure or foundation project in an urban environment.
    An active construction or excavation site showing a large concrete structure with exposed rock/soil face. Two workers in high-visibility safety gear are visible — one ascending a metal staircase attached to the concrete wall, and another on a ladder working on the excavated rock face. The site shows significant earthwork with survey markings, lumber, construction tools, and equipment scattered at the base.
    A close-up photograph of a worker's lower legs and feet at what appears to be a construction or excavation site. The worker is wearing heavily mud-caked rubber boots, standing on wooden planks laid over muddy ground. Various cables, tools, and construction materials are visible in the surrounding environment.
    A male worker in full personal protective equipment stands at an industrial waterfront or lock facility under a dramatic overcast sky. He is holding a white hard hat and a high-visibility equipment bag while wearing a yellow safety vest with what appears to be U.S. Army Corps of Engineers insignia. The low-angle shot gives the image a heroic, portrait-style composition against a backdrop of cranes and industrial infrastructure.
