SAMPLE COMPUTATION FOR THE RESULTS:

FOR ALL POINTS

H.I. = ASSUMED ELEVATION + B.S.

ELEVATION = H.I. – F.S.

FOR H.I.

H.I. = 200m + 1.40m

H.I. = 201.40m

FOR ELEVATION OF 00+010

ELEVATION = 201.4m – 3.81m

ELEVATION = 197.59m

CONCLUSION

With the aid of a Precise level, we were able determine the elevation
of a specific path easily. By using the leveling rod and precise level
instrument, we were able to record the back sight and the foresight, from a
position where our precise level is fixed, for every 10 meter point inside the
120 meters span.

Precise level is the most useful instrument in getting the elevation of

a specific path/lot and also the right instrument to be used in differential
leveling that will give you the most precise results (disregarding the human
error). It will help you in future constructions for you may know the elevation
of a specific lot where you want to build your structure.

RECOMMENDATION

The next group that would survey inside the Intramuros wall must ask
for a permit first at least from their professor and give it to the ones who are
guarding the wall for they may interrupt your field work constantly. And if
there are no permits given to you by the prof, get the permit at the main
office of the Intramuros.
