KYTC	635 Ajay Shah Agency	Y Approve		Jun 02, 2016	1773
KYTC	765 David Steele Agency	Y Approve	After attending a presentation by Mark Hundley on this product and observing a brief demonstration of its use I believe this product is worth trying on an actual bridge construction or bridge repair project. The only drawback that I observed was the initial cost of the fastening tool, but it was mentioned that this tool could be rented instead of purchasing the tool.	May 23, 2016	1755
