To our construction teams, Robin is a familiar face who frequently visits the active construction sites to shoot some candid photos of construction and our hard workers. Little did we know that Robin not only works to document the construction progress but she gains much deserved national recognition while she is at it. Right here in Sunol Valley, Robin’s photo of the New Irvington Tunnel Project made the Top Ten for the Engineering News Record (ENR) 2015 Year in Construction Photo Contest. This is a prestigious international construction photography competition, and we are extremely proud that Robin’s photo of our own tunnel was a winner!
About Robin
Robin Scheswohl moved to the Bay Area in 2003 from
Philadelphia, PA where she studied photography and later worked with corporate
and wedding photographers. She’s been with the SFPUC since 2007, working in the
Construction Management Bureau and the Engineering Archives. She is responsible
for cataloging and preserving thousands of historic images dating back to the
19th century, as well as documenting the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) construction projects. SFPUC
Engineering Archives Photography has curated public exhibits at City Hall, at
the San Francisco International Airport, and the SF American Institute of
Architects (AIA) Headquarters. The images are used extensively by the SFPUC and
appear in books, periodicals, environmental and engineering studies.
Here is Robin filming at the Bay Tunnel, which is the first
tunnel constructed under San Francisco Bay.
Congratulations, Robin!
