Recommendations and Comments

Transportation Cabinet	613 Richard Thomas Agency	Y Approve	The product appears applicable as a pipe liner when the existing pipe is relatively straight and reasonably round. The claim that greater flows are achieved by the smaller pipe due to a lower Mannings' roughness does not apply when the liner pipe is in inlet control and flow capacity is primarily a function of pipe size. The video showed an installation for a pipe with projecting ends only. Further research into this product is worth pursuing.	Nov 06, 2019	2562
KYTC	616 Ryan Griffith Agency	U Undecided		Sep 27, 2019	2505
KYTC	572 Doug Gesso Agency	Y Approve		Jul 30, 2019	2426
KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	Y Approve	Recommend experimental application provided hydraulics are verified for the proposed project.	Jul 30, 2019	2421
KYTC	904 Kevin Rust Agency	Y Approve	Using products very similar to this already.	Jul 26, 2019	2414

KYTC	967 Josh Rogers Agency	U Undecided	This appears to be on non-bridge length sized structures and drainage pipes which may be with Roadway Branch in the Division of Maintenance not Bridge Preservation.	Jul 25, 2019	2411
