FAIRFAX, VA Two Dewberry engineers, Anthony Alduino, PE, and Nicholas Saponara, PE, have been selected to consult on the latest revisions to New York City, New York's, building codes. Alduino and Saponara will use their combined 49 years of engineering experience to lend a practical perspective to the code revisions.

Alduino, a Senior Project Manager in the firm's mechanical, electrical, and plumbing practice, is serving on the special inspections advisory committee. Saponara, a Senior Associate and Assistant Department Manager in Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing, is serving on the boiler technical committee.

The city's construction codes are updated every three years based on the International Code Council codes, in consultation with professionals. Revisions to the construction codes must be approved by the New York City council and signed into law by the mayor.

"The construction code revision process is about converging New York City's standards to bring them more in line with the rest of the country," said Alduino. "I look forward to contributing positively to these revisions."

"This is a chance to draw on my accumulated knowledge and experience to improve construction codes for New York City, and I am proud to be a part of the revision process," said Saponara.
