KYTC D9	48 Phil Mauney Agency	Y Approve	Useful in a limited amount for maintenance projects.		Jan 16, 2009	130
Construction	77 Rachel Mills Agency	Y Approve	Appears to be more suited for maintenance situations.		Dec 18, 2008	117
Ky Assoc. of Hwy Contractors	47 Michael LaRue Agency	Y Approve	No comments were received regarding concerns about using this product		Dec 02, 2008	17
KYTC D1	41 Michael McGregor Agency	Y Approve	I say we give it a try. I say we give it a try.		Dec 01, 2008	16
KYTC D6	62 Robert Hill Agency	Y Approve	Looks like a product that would work well in some situations. One of our engineers has seen the product in use and stated that it worked quite well. Offers cost savings over replacement but still fairly expensive.		Dec 01, 2008	15
KYTC D11	86 David Hacker Agency	Y Approve	This product can be used for certain applications. From the information given it would appear to be cost effective and easy installation. It would appear to be used more on a maintenance project then compared to a construction project.	The seal was designed for joint application, but also for extended lengths. The rubber has notched lips in it that can be overlapped to form a sleeve, of sorts. We have done numerous jobs involving the HydraTite seal sleeving system.	Nov 26, 2008	14
KYTC D5	76 dav kessinger Agency	Y Approve	I don’t know of any incident on a construction project that would have been able to use this product. Usually the pipe in question is of a state that the pipe needs to be replaced or relined if possible. If a joint is leaking, it is usually caught when the overburden is undermined and settles. By the time settling occurs, the pipe is in a condition where sealing the joint is not an option. I’m not saying that there wouldn’t be ANY use for it, but I haven’t seen a situation that this product would be able to fully repair. This product may have possible uses in maintenance, but I would not be able to speak on that. If the product is put out there for use, time will let us know if there is a place for it on the LAM.		Nov 25, 2008	13
KYTC D2	39 Brad Houck Agency	Y Approve	Can be used with limited applications in some larger pipes. I assume somebody has to crawl into the pipe to install the band. Most of the maintenance problems are with pipes less than 24".	The HydraTite seals are available in 18" and greater. You are correct in assuming that someone has to crawl in and install them. We have successfully installed many in 18" diameter pipe. There are however, no limitations on how large they can be made to install.	Nov 25, 2008	12
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	Y Approve	Materials are well tested and I like the low profile for minimum head loss.		Nov 25, 2008	10
KYTC D3	60 Greg Meredith Agency	Y Approve	This product could serve useful in very limited applications, in my opinion, such as a leaking joint in a crossdrain, etc. I think a trial use in Phase IV would be appropriate.	The majority of applications with the HydraTite seal have been maintenance. However, we have installed a few over the years in new pipe where the owner wanted to reinforce the joints, or have found a joint leak during installation of new pipe. The HydraTite seal has also been used to "tie off" other trenchless products. We occasionally use the seal to sustain the ends of our PolySpray products if the spray area are subject to back flow, or with our HydraWrap.	Nov 18, 2008	8
KYTC D8	66 Bruce Neely Agency	Y Approve	Product could prove to be beneficial. If used on a project, cost, pictures, and other information should be circulated in the districts.		Nov 19, 2008	6
