Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	U Undecided	This product is being moved to Phase 12. This is being done in order to hold off on additional project applications until the Department has a period to be comfortable with performance. This application is contrary to our Drainage Manual and was accepted experimentally to gain experience. Time is needed to gage performance and review any construction issues.	Mar 22, 2018	2042
KYTC	616 Ryan Griffith Agency	U Undecided	Need more information. Need more information.	Oct 13, 2014	1463
PAIKY	459 Brian Wood Agency	U Undecided		Aug 27, 2014	1448
Ky Assoc. of Hwy Contractors	47 Michael LaRue Agency	U Undecided		Aug 26, 2014	1442
KYTC - State Highway Engineer's Office	663 Jonathan Wilcoxson Agency	U Undecided	Awaiting response to issues raised by Division of Materials.	Aug 16, 2014	1434
Ky Transportation Cabinet	92 Allen Myers Agency	N Disapprove	The manufacturer has provided very limited information concerning this application. The information states that the product satisfies AASHTO M 294, but if so, we would be "taking a leap" to consider it to be a fitting or coupler. The information provides a very general statement that the product is “commonly used in the US,” but this level of detail is not very helpful. What is the wall thickness of the adapter? Does a means exist to verify the strength of weld? The joint performance criteria is also a concern to us. AASHTO M 294 references other AASHTO specifications for "Bridges Div II, Section 26" (this may be an old reference) and testing for soil tightness. Does information exist concerning the performance of the joint? More information is needed before we can effectively evaluate this product.	Aug 13, 2014	1433
KYTC	592 Tim Tharpe Agency	U Undecided	Product does not appear to be relevant to applications related to Traffic Operations. Defer final ruling to subject matter experts.	Aug 12, 2014	1429
