PROFILE LEVELING
Objective:
To familiarize students with the method of knowing the profile
of the ground surface.

Location:
Any place with an irregular ground surface and a length not
less than 500 meters.

Instruments needed:
1 engineer’s level/dumpy/wye level 1 measuring tape
range poles
1 leveling rod hammer or mallet
chalk

Procedures:
1. Lay out a line by placing a marking pin/stake at the starting
point, and for every 20 meter distance, and at every point
where there is a change in slope. The marking pins/stakes
shall be stationed 0+000, 0+020, 0+040, etc and other point
falling in between the regular 20 m interval.
2. Set the level at a convenient location where the given
benchmark or reference point and the set stations along the
line, if possible, can be seen.
3. Backsight BM1, then make the intermediate foresights (IFS) to
stations marked on the ground starting from station 0+000. In
case of other stations cannot be sighted, establish a turning
point and get its foresight.
4. Transfer and set the instrument to the next convenient point.
5. Backsight TP1 and proceed to intermediate foresighting of the
other stations. Establish another turning point or turning
points, if necessary.
6. Make necessary computations for all station elevations.
7. Plot the profile on cross-section millimeter paper thus:
a. Get the total length of the profile and use a scale for
horizontal measurement that will be good for the length for
the length of the paper.
b. Get the difference of the highest and lowest elevations
and use another scale for the vertical measurement that will
be sufficient for the width of the paper.
c. Make necessary labeling of the graph and putting the
marginal information.
