Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	198 Bart Asher Agency	Y Approve	Recommend demo project. Each site will required site specific design in accordance with AASHTO and stamped by a professional engineer licensed in KY.		May 27, 2020	2690
Transportation Cabinet	613 Richard Thomas Agency	Y Approve	The product literature states that "Pipe ends shall be square cut or shall have a 30 degree bevel on OD or ID as specified by purchaser." If this is accurate then more efficient designs may be specified for inlet control situations by the designer by requiring a beveled end. Would like to see more information in regards to: 1. Available sizes that include design Mannings' roughness values 2. Pipe selection procedures based on pipe loading factors including fill height. 3. Recommended lining options for situations with adverse abrasion or adverse pH involvement. 4. Performance and installation histories. 5. Design service life.		Apr 08, 2020	2669
KYTC	572 Doug Gesso Agency	Y Approve	Smooth steel pipe provides specialty shape and structural performance needs for drainage installations and other potential uses where economically viable as a preferred design option. Previously had been approved for experimental use in KYPEL. Recommend full approval for use by roadway and hydraulics designers on KYTC projects. 3/5/2020 No change. Still recommend approval.

Please note that the following statement "Pipe ends shall be square cut or shall have a 30 degree bevel on OD or ID as specified by purchaser" refers to the welding requirements of the pipe. Please reference the uploaded document titled, INFRASTEEL LINER DESIGN- BEVELED INLET, for an example of a beveled or flared inlet end of pipe for inlet flow control. 2. Please reference the attached Infrasteel Product Catalogue for liner sizes and shapes. The catalogue serves as a GUIDELINE for liner specifications but does not include all sizes, shapes, and wall thicknesses. The Manning’s Coefficient for all Infrasteel liner’s is .012. Infrasteel is manufactured to client specifications. 3. InfraSteel wall thickness is determined by structural requirements per HL-93 Load Bearing requirements, and utilizes and corrosion rate of 0.0025 in/year in order to determine the sacrificial steel necessary to achieve the desired design life for the specific project site. As an example, a liner with a wall thickness of 1.25in includes a sacrificial steel thickness of 0.175in in order to achieve a design life of 70yrs. This is outlined in the 19-1101-0 Load Calculations attachment. 4.Please reference the following case studies uploaded as attachments: InfraSteel I-465, Chapel Hill Culvert Rehabilitation, InfraSteel NY. 5. Please reference attachment 19-1101-0 Load Calculations for example of designed service life.	Jul 26, 2019	2415
