Leveling

Group 7
 Objectives
strategically establish turning points to eliminate
errors due to earths curvature and atmosphere
to establish elevations of control points around
acad oval from a known bench mark (oblation) by
three-wire leveling to establish 2 semi-permanent
control points/benchmarks around the sunken
garden within primary project control accuracy
standard (additional critetia: intervisble sa
nearest control pt at kita buong sunken including
trees, benches, posts etc paikot ng sunken.)
 Instruments and
Accessories
automatic level
tripod
leveling rod
measuring tape
station markers (liquid eraser) since unahin nyo ang
leveling before traverse, kailangan nyo ng marker na
semi permanent kasi mageestablish na kayo dito ng
2 control points, need nyo ng nails, hammer or paint
Chalk pangmark ng TPs
2 cones
vests

 Field Procedures
1. Construct a level loop around the academic oval in a clockwise
direction starting from the BM Oble and execute a double set-up, 3-wire
leveling.
2. Set up the instrument near BM Oble and sight the rod occupying BM
Oble.
3. Record the upper, middle, and lower hair readings as the backsight.
Using the stadia method, compute the distance between the instrument
and BM Oble.
4. Establish the first turning point and sight the rod once occupied.
Record the upper, middle, and lower hair readings as the Foresight. Make
sure that the distance between the instrument and TP1 is close to the
distance computed between the instrument and BM Oble. Ensure that the
distances from BM1 and TP1 to the instrument are almost equal by estimating the distances
through taping. Re-observe if necessary if the distances are significantly different. This is to
avoid accumulation of errors.

[based on my instructions, youll need to perform double set-up. So after

reading the first set ng bs at fs, move nyo yung set-up ng autolevel
slightly, ibahin ang location, height, ilevel ulit, then perform bs and fs
readings ulit sa same points kanina. Ito yung magiging 2nd set-up. Irecord
yung dalawang data sa separate na tables. Then, check if the HI and
Elevation of the TPs are the same for the two sets of data obtained from
 Field Procedures
5. Proceed to the next location for the instrument and sight the rod at
TP1. Record the backsight of TP1. Repeat the procedure on each turning
Point in the level loop.
6. Pass the leveling loop through the 4 control points (Law, Econ, Vinzons
and Educ) and establish 2 additional stations to get their elevations.
7. Compute for the height of Instrument (H.I.) and elevation for each
station.
8. Confirm if level loop closure is within third-order accuracy standard for
vertical controls.

Maximum closure = 12 mm K ; K is the distance of level route in

kilometers
PUT THIS IN THE COMPUTATIONS AFTER THE COMPUTATION OF ERROR
OF CLOSURE

9. Perform the necessary adjustment in the leveling data.
