Since 1993, Dresdner Robin has been responsible for the management and implementation of New York State Department of Transportation's (NYSDOT) Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program. During maintenance operations, Dresdner Robin utilizes Class A Containment specifications at numerous locations throughout New York State. The Monitoring Program is part of an ongoing process by the NYSDOT, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to evaluate the effectiveness and impacts of various containment systems used by contractors during bridge maintenance operations. The monitoring program consists of two components: a high volume protocol for selected projects to determine ambient particulate concentration, including lead particulate and a real-time protocol for all projects. This Program requires close coordination with NYSDOT's Environmental Assessment Bureau, Regional Environmental Coordinator, project Engineer-In-Charge, State's inspection team, and the painting contractor. The successful implementation of this Program is predicated upon the technical excellence, flexibility, responsiveness, and program management capabilities provided to NYSDOT by the Dresdner Robin team.
