When a steel-anchor template shifts slightly before an encasement pour, what is prudent contractor guidance?
Choices
- (A) Mask offsets with grout without telling anyone
- (B) Hold work, notify engineer, survey offsets vs approved tolerances, then apply permitted correction paths
- (C) Cold-bend anchors by eye until they look centred
- (D) Pour immediately and inject later without a detail
Correct answer: (B)
Hold work, notify engineer, survey offsets vs approved tolerances, then apply permitted correction paths
Explanation
Documented deviations avoid unusable fittings after steel arrives.
