    A worker wearing black nitrile gloves and a high-visibility orange safety vest is collecting a soil sample into a small amber/brown sample jar at a construction or environmental testing site. The person is crouching down close to the ground, pressing the sample container into loose, sandy-brown soil. This appears to be an environmental soil sampling or geotechnical testing procedure.

    A fuel management solutions contractor collects a dirt sample after the removal of an underground storage tank near Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, July 23, 2026. The removal of the underground storage tank marks a symbolic passing of the torch from the legacy Minuteman III weapon system to the next-generation Sentinel system, representing the transition to a modernized and more capable Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force.

    A Komatsu excavator is lifting a large red/maroon elliptical tank or vessel at what appears to be an industrial or utility construction site. Two workers wearing hard hats and high-visibility vests are observing the lift operation nearby. The site features concrete pads, underground vault structures, and various mechanical components in a rural, flat landscape.
    A Komatsu PC138US-LC excavator is lifting a large oval/elliptical underground storage tank (UST) using chains at what appears to be a fuel station or industrial construction site. The tank, which appears to be a fiberglass or steel UST with a dark reddish-brown exterior, is being removed from or installed into an excavated pit. Three workers in high-visibility safety gear and hard hats are present, overseeing the operation.
    An active construction site showing a large excavation pit with exposed sandy/clay soil. Precast concrete structures, likely utility vaults or junction boxes with metal access hatches, are visible at the edge of the excavation. Heavy equipment and construction materials are staged in the background.
    A construction site in a flat, rural landscape showing active excavation work. A yellow Komatsu excavator is operating near a large open trench, with concrete structures and infrastructure already in place. Multiple workers in high-visibility safety gear are present on site.
    A white pickup truck with a utility bed is towing a large spherical or oval-shaped tank on a flatbed trailer across an open prairie or grassland. The scene appears to be in a rural agricultural or oil/gas region under overcast skies. Power lines run diagonally across the background, and fence posts are visible along the horizon.
    The image shows a rural, open landscape with a large cylindrical storage tank loaded on a dual-axle flatbed trailer, branded 'Kaufman'. Two white Ford pickup trucks are visible in the background near what appears to be a fenced facility. The scene suggests an industrial or agricultural equipment transport operation under overcast skies.
