PRACTICAL WORK FOR WEEK FOUR - SIX.
TITLE :
Tertiary Leveling.
AIM :
To carry out tertiary leveling, reduction to produce elevations of all permanent stations along
a circuit of about 1km.
EQUIPMENT:
Level, tripod, leveling staves, steel tape, linen tape, ranging pole, arrows, leveling field book,
foot plate, pegs, nails and bottle cork, pen, etc.
Procedure:
(1) Select instruments.
(2) Conduct a Field reconnaissance
(3) Sketch a Reconnaissance diagram of the area.
(4) Set the level instrument and check the back sight and fore sight are approximately the
same length.
(5) Place a staff on the starting point and a staff where the interval terminates.
(6) Observe the back staff, read and note the readings.
(7) Observe the forward staff, read and note the readings.
(8) Reduce the readings.
CONCLUSION:
Summarize the final reduced levels in tabular from and comment on the closing error.
PRACTICAL WORK FOR WEEK SEVEN – NINE.

(3) Sketch the Reconnaissance diagram
(4) Set up the instrument at the instrument station
(5) Perform temporary adjustment
(6) Measure the height of instrument (hi)
(7) Set the telescope and the staff so that all the three stadia hairs intersect the staff
(8) Book the vertical circle reading and horizontal circle readings
(9) Read and book the three stadia hair readings
(10) Reduction of angles
(11) Compute the distances and reduced levels using the following formula;
Horizontal distance P x = D = KS cos2 Ø + C cos Ø (i)

PROCEDURE:
(1) Read and understand the drawings thoroughly.
(2) Determine the base line/building by direct measurement.
(3) Establish the two corners on the building Line (A and B).
(4) Set up the Theodolite at the one corner (A) on the building line.
(5) Perform temporary adjustment of the Theodolite.
(6) Turn the instrument to sight a ranging pole at point (B).
(7) Adjust the horizontal circle bearing to read 00⁰ 00’ 00’’.
(8) Turn the instrument anticlockwise until angle 90⁰ 00’ 00’’ is obtained.
(9) Align a ranging pole to the line of sight and place a ranging pole.
(10) Measure out the horizontal line AD from the plan and peg.
(11) Transfer the equipment from A to point D and sight back to A.
(12) Adjust the horizontal circle bearing to read 00⁰ 00’ 00’’.
(13) Turn the instrument anticlockwise until angle 90⁰ 00’ 00’’ is obtained.
(14) Align a ranging pole to the line of sight and place a ranging pole.
(15) Measure out the horizontal line DC from the plan and peg.
(16) Transfer the equipment from D to point C and sight back to D.
(17) Repeat steps (7-9) to give line CB.
(18) Join line AB and check the distance from the plan.
(19) Check the diagonals; AC and BD, if the same in lengths, the exercise is accurate
otherwise check work over for necessary corrections.
(20) Set up profile boards at each corner of the building.
