A tendon reaches pressure but not the expected elongation

A post-tensioning team has reached the target gauge indication for a tendon, but its recorded elongation is outside the project's permitted range. The technician can identify the tendon, yet the available calibration sheet belongs to a different jack-and-gauge combination. A strand tail has not been cut. Another worker suggests increasing pressure until the elongation matches, then recording the target value to keep the job moving. Nearby, the grouting crew reports a damaged duct connection and asks whether extra mixing water can make the grout pass more easily. The supervisor must prevent unsupported corrective action, preserve the evidence needed for review, and keep the stressing and grouting processes within the authorized system requirements.
