Recommendations and Comments

Transportation Cabinet	613 Richard Thomas Agency	U Undecided	This product is relatively new as it appears to have been created in 2010. Actual performance information would be beneficial. As of now there appears to be no way to evaluate its performance. This product could perhaps be used on an experimental basis. In that instance, I would limit its use to low ADT projects (< 1500 ADT) and only in shallow fills (< 15 ft.) to minimize the required work for removal, replacement or repair if problems result.	Nov 06, 2019	2563
KYTC	572 Doug Gesso Agency	Y Approve	Applicable materials specification (807.03.04(C)- ASTM C 1619) is certified to have been met by manufacturer. Testing for water tightness under specification of ASTM C443-12(Reapproved 2017) in place of discontinued AASHTO M315 has been professionally certified. Test results submission requirements per ASTM C 1619 is deferred to Div. of Materials. A specifications exists for rubber gaskets for KYTC soil tightness. It is assumed this KYPEL submission is for water tight specification development. Recommend ASTM C443-12(Reapproved 2017) be used.	Oct 24, 2017	1999
