Two Peg Test
Purpose
Two peg test is permanent adjustment of the levelling instrument to check the collimation error. There is
only one adjustment necessary to ensure that the instrument is in good adjustment. This procedure to
make sure the view line must parallel to the telescope axis so that when the bubble is central the line of
sight is horizontal.
Instrument
1. Auto level – 1 unit
2. Staff level – 2 units
3. Measuring tape – 1 units
4. Tripod – 1 units
Field work procedure
1. On a relatively flat site establish 2 staff A and B about 40 meters.
2. Set up the instrument at centre between staff A and B.
3. After levelling and focusing, sight on the staff held vertically at staff A and take reading.
4. Repeat with the staff held at B and take reading.
5. After that, move the instrument and set up the instrument at back of staff B about 4 meters.
6. Repeat the observations onto a staff at A and B

Calculation
Should be equal to , to ensure that the instrument is in good adjustment the
difference between them must less than 0.01 .
- < 0.010
Conclusion
If the different between - less than 0.01 , it can be concluded that, the
instrument is in good condition.

TITLE : SERIES LEVELLING
OBJECTIVE : To find the difference in level between two points (TBM 1 to TBM 2)

Backsights and foresights to change points should always be about equal.The level does not have to be
the straight line between change points. The field observation are noted or booked in a levelling field
book as follows and later reduced in the office;
1) The first observations made after an instrument has been set up are called a back sight (BS) and is
the reading of 2.390 on the staff held on TBM.No.1.It is booked in the first back sight column in the
field book.
2) The next observation of 1.985 is to an intermediate staff position A and is known as an
Intermediate sight (IS), and is booked in the second column on the next line down.
3) The next observation of 1.318 is also an intermediate sight and is booked in the same column, but
is written on the next line down as it refers to another staff position B.
4) The next observation of 1.612 is the last observation from the instrument set up at No.1 and is
known as a foresight (FS).It is booked in the third, foresight column as shown.
5) The instrument is now moved to position No.2 and observation of 0.988 is made to the staff held
at C. It is the first observation of the second set up and is therefore a back sight and is booked in
the back sight column. It also refers to the same staff position as the previous reading and is
therefore booked on the same line as reading 1.612, already in the foresight column.
6) The staff position C is known as a change because the level is changed from one to another.
Whenever readings are booked on one line in both the back sight and foresight columns these
readings indicate observation on to a change point.
7) The process of booking continues as before until a final foresight is taken on to the staff held at
TBM No.2.reading 0.532 in the foresight column.

Sectional and longitudinal survey conducted in cross-section.
1) Determine the Bench Mark position and Reduced Level by using method of series levelling.
2) Provide a straight line, (3) as far as 40m as in Figure 1 above. Mark every 10m on the line. Next
construct a line (1), (2), (4) and (5) parallel to line 3 above. Line (1) and (5) were along the
location, the line (2) and (4) on the road shoulder. Measure the distance with tape. Mark each
point of intersection.
3) Observation to all point are made after an instrument has been set up.
4) The process of booking continues as before until a final Foresight is taken at Bench Mark.

FIELD WORK 1 (c)
TITLE : LEVELLING (Contour – Grid Level Method)
OBJECTIVE : To obtain the contour lines using the grid level method to study the shape of
earth surface at the area on the topography map.
EQUIPMENTS :
1) Levelling instrument
2) Tripod
3) Levelling Staff
4) Measuring Tape
5) Ranging Pole
6) Picket / Chaining Arrow
7) Wooden Peg / Chaining Arrow
8) Optical Square
PROCEDURE:
Grid on the ground can be prepared by following the steps below:
1. Choose an area and divide into several squares, for example a grid of size 4m x 4m each as shown
in below.
A B C D E
0 1 2 3 4
2. Place a peg at each cross point of the square.
3. All lines in one direction are marked A,B,C,D and E, while the other lines are marked 1,2,3 and 4.
(Marking of these points create an intersection and given a coordinate)
For example: A2 is an intersection between line A and line 2.
4. After the grid lines have been prepared, leveling work commences with the following steps.
5. Set up leveling instrument at a corner so as all pegs are visible.
6. Obtain back sight reading from the nearest point such as known Bench mark or by using
Temporary Bench Mark.
7. Obtain staff reading at every peg and record it in the field book.
8. Record a sketch of the grid frame including its arrangement, reference alphabets and numbers as
in Figure into the field book. This enables plotting of the grid network to be carried out easily.
9. When calculating and recording of all reduced levels have been made at all intersection points,
appropriate contour lines between grid intersections are also recorded using interpolation.
