    This document outlines the procedures for profile leveling to determine elevations along a track of land. It describes setting up the automatic level and tripod at stations along the line and taking backsight and foresight readings between known benchmarks and points along the profile. The elevations are then calculated by subtracting foresight readings from the height of instrument. Computations and a tabulation of observed and calculated values are included to determine the elevations of turning points and intermediate stations along the profile. Recommendations and conclusions regarding the leveling work are also provided.

    TITLE: PROFILE LEVELING

    OBJECTIVE/S: a) To determine the elevations of turning points, intermediate points and


    benchmarks.

    b) To plot the profile along the centerline of a certain track of land.

    EQUIPMENT/S:

    Fig 7.1 Automatic Level Fig 7.2 Tripod Fig 7.3 Stadia Rods Fig 7.4 Markers

    PROCEDURES:

    a. Establish markings at every full station along the line of a 500-m with 100 m intervals.

    b. Set up and level the instrument in a suitable location on one side of a line.

    c. Take and record a backsight on a rod held on a known benchmark to determine the
    height of instrument.

    d. Take and record intermediate foresight from as many points on the line up to within
    practical limits of sighting.

    e. When the rod has been advanced to a point beyond which readings to ground points
    cannot be observed, establish a turning point, and take a foresight on it to determine its
    elevation.

    f. Transfer and set up the instrument in another farther position and take a backsight on
    the turning point just established. Then continue taking rod readings on ground points
    as before until the end of the line is reached.
    g. The height of the instrument can be computed by adding the backsight reading to the
    known elevation and the elevation of the ground point are calculated by subtracting the
    corresponding foresight to the height of the instrument.

    h. The error of closure is the difference between the sum of all backsights and foresights or
    also equal to the difference in elevation between the first and final benchmarks.

    i. The elevation of the intermediate station can be calculated by subtracting the


    intermediate foresight from the height of the instrument.

    j. Tabulate observed and computed values accordingly.
