Post-Tension Stressing Logs
Must Be Perfect or the Structure Fails
The Challenge
Manual elongation calculations are error-prone
The operator records gauge pressure and elongation for each tendon. The engineer calculates deviation from theoretical. On paper with a calculator, math errors are inevitable over 200 tendons.
Illegible handwriting in critical records
Stressing logs are handwritten in the field by operators wearing gloves in dusty conditions. When the structural engineer reviews the logs, half the numbers are unreadable.
Out-of-tolerance tendons are missed
A tendon with 8% deviation should trigger investigation. But the math error on the paper log shows 4%. The deviation is missed and the tendon is locked off without review.
Real-time review is impossible
The structural engineer reviews stressing logs days or weeks after the tendons are stressed. By then the slab is loaded and corrective action is far more expensive.
The POD Advantage
Voice-logged stressing data
Speak the gauge pressure and elongation reading for each tendon. POD records the data, calculates the deviation from theoretical, and flags any out-of-tolerance tendons instantly.
Real-time engineer review
The structural engineer sees stressing results in real time as tendons are pulled. Review and approve tendons from the office while stressing is still in progress.
Complete PT documentation package
Stressing logs, deviation calculations, engineer approvals, and corrective actions all in one digital package. Ready for the building official without transcription.
Built for Post-Tensioning
“We found 14 tendons with elongation deviations over 10% but the paper logs showed them as acceptable. The field math was wrong. POD calculates deviation automatically so human error does not compromise the structure.”
