Pio Monsini, Day Superintendent - a man with more skills than I can count
Pio is man in motion - a working supervisor - always thinking, always
concerned, always inspiring, always directing, and ocassionally smiling.
Here is a short photo essay of Pio in action:
Pio thinking (while a ship passes under the Pearman work site) and when
he is not thinking he is directing using his
multi-mode communicators: mobile phone in this right hand and
air horn in the left (to signal the barge guys) and mouth in the middle
Pio explaining the game plan to the team: SCDOT, HDR, TY Lin etc -
Pio's hidden skill: tooth extraction (from the expansion joint)
Pio as a detective - even after extracting the tooth (just
in front of Mike's left foot),
what is holding the expansion plates in place?
Everyone wants a discussion with Pio - what is the next surprise?
Pio has a bit of magic and here is doing the impossible -
walking on the underside of a road without falling up
Even tied down - Pio is talking and investigating and making a strategy
Pio cleaning up after everyone else
and Pio can actually smile
