Cut 2 post tension cables in my home slab located in Southeast Louisiana.?

Other than pulling them out (no an option) and replacing them, what should I do? One runs East-West the other North South. They intersect each other.

Putting rebar next to it might be one option but if you have broken the insulation on the cable I am sure that will have to be repaired as it is there to prevent rust which could eventuraly result in failure.
If you don't know who designed it call engineers in the yellow pages,
