For this activity, we used several pieces of equipment, including an automatic level, its tripod, a
leveling rod, chalk, and a plumb bob. First, we established our Benchmark 1 (BM1) at the
location marked by the “Wrong Way” sign, as documented. Our Turning Point 1 (TP1) was set
beside the stairway. We concluded our measurements with Benchmark 2 (BM2) and Turning
Point 7 (TP7) near the P8 sign in the parking lot.
To obtain accurate measurements, we divided our survey area into eight specific points. These
points indicate where the automatic level was positioned and where we measured the
benchmarks and turning points to determine the elevation at each location. Despite facing
obstacles such as parked cars, people passing by, and infrastructure like pillars and railings, we
employed various techniques and strategies to ensure precise measurements. For instance, we
broke down the distances into shorter segments, allowing us to use the automatic level with
greater accuracy.
Additionally, the weather did not pose any challenges during our activity, as we were equipped
with protective gear, such as umbrellas, to shield us from the elements.
For this activity, we employed several pieces of equipment, including an automatic level, its
tripod, a leveling rod, chalk, and a plumb bob, to conduct a differential leveling survey. We
began by establishing Benchmark 1 (BM1) at the location marked by the “Wrong Way” sign, as
documented, and set Turning Point 1 (TP1) beside the stairway. Our measurements concluded at
Benchmark 2 (BM2) and Turning Point 7 (TP7) near the P8 sign in the parking lot.
To ensure high precision in determining height differences between points, we divided our
survey area into eight specific points. These points represented the locations where the automatic
level was positioned, enabling us to measure the benchmarks and turning points accurately. We
employed various key techniques throughout the process, such as setting up the equipment on a
level, stable surface, and ensuring that all leveling devices were properly calibrated before use.
Additionally, we used the method of taking readings with the backsight and foresight, and
emphasized the importance of taking multiple readings at each stage to reduce systematic errors.
Despite obstacles like parked cars, passing pedestrians, and infrastructure such as pillars and
railings, we overcame these challenges by breaking down distances into shorter segments, which
allowed for more accurate use of the automatic level. The weather also did not hinder our
activity, as we were equipped with protective gear like umbrellas. By applying these techniques
and strategies, we were able to achieve accurate and reliable survey results.
For this activity we conduct a differential leveling survey with precision, our surveying team
uses several pieces of equipment, including an automatic level, its tripod, a leveling rod, chalk,
and a plumb bob. We started by establishing Benchmark 1 (BM1) at the location marked by the
"Wrong Way" sign and set Turning Point 1 (TP1) beside the stairway, ultimately concluding at
Benchmark 2 (BM2) and Turning Point 7 (TP7) near the P8 sign in the parking lot.
The survey was conducted with a scientific approach to accurately determine elevation
differences between points. The team divided the survey area into eight specific points, which
allowed for precise measurements of benchmarks and turning points. At each location, a
backsight reading was taken on the preceding benchmark or turning point, followed by a
foresight reading to establish new turning points (TP1 through TP7) as the rodman advanced.
The instrument was repositioned after each foresight to ensure continued accuracy, and the
process was repeated until the final benchmark was reached.
To maintain high accuracy throughout the survey, we used several key techniques, such as
setting up equipment on a stable surface and ensuring all devices were properly calibrated. We
also emphasized the importance of taking multiple readings at each stage to minimize systematic
errors. Challenges such as parked cars, people passing in pedestrians, and infrastructure obstacles
were managed by breaking down distances into shorter segments, which allowed for more
effective use of the automatic level. The weather also did not hinder our activity, as we were
equipped with protective gear like umbrellas. By applying these systematic and strategic
methods, we were able to achieve accurate and reliable results in their differential leveling
survey.
