    This document discusses levelling, a branch of surveying used to establish or measure the height of points relative to a datum. It describes the main instruments used for levelling like dumpy levels, tilting levels, automatic levels, digital levels, and water levels. The objectives of levelling are to find the elevations of given points with respect to a datum and to establish points at given elevations. Levelling involves measuring points in the vertical plane to find the difference in height between two points, which is important for construction processes. The document also provides a brief overview of total stations, an electronic instrument used in modern surveying.

    theodolite in conjunction with electronic Levelling is a branch of surveying, the object of which is to establish or verify or measure the
    distance meter (EDM).It is also integrated with height of specified points relative to a datum. It is widely used in cartography to
    microprocessor, electronic data collector and measure geodetic height, and in construction to measure height differences of construction

    The instrument is used to measure sloping The main instruments used for levelling include:
    distance of object to the instrument, horizontal
    angles and vertical angles. This Microprocessor  Dumpy level: Often a generic term for an optical level.
    unit enables for computation of data collected to  Tilting level: Replaced by the automatic level but useful where vibration is a problem.
    further calculate the horizontal distance,  Automatic level: Includes an internal pendulum which allows a horizontal reading.
    coordinates of a point and reduced level of point.  Digital level: Staff read automatically.
     Water level: Useful in confined spaces.
    Data collected from total station can be
    downloaded into computer/laptops for further
    processing of information. Objectives of Levelling
    Total stations are mainly used by land surveyors The main purpose of levelling in surveying are:
    and civil engineers, either to record features as
