    This document summarizes a laboratory exercise on differential leveling. The objectives were to determine elevations of temporary benchmarks and turning points. Measurements were taken by taking backsight and foresight readings while moving the rod or instrument. Elevations were calculated from the measurements. An error check was performed and the error was 0.001mm, showing accurate work. The conclusion is that error is inevitable in surveying but the group worked well together to take accurate readings and minimize error through cooperation.

    LABORATORY 3
    DIFFERENTIAL LEVELLING

    I. OBJECTIVES:
    - Determine the elevation of a Temporary Benchmark (TBM).
    - Calculate the Height of the instrument and Elevation at a Turning
    Point.
    - Identify when to take a Backsight or Foresight measurement.
    - Choose when the measuring rod should be moved versus when the
    instrument should be moved.
    - Understand the whole concept of differential leveling.

    II. MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT:


    - Levelling Staff/Plumb Rod
    - Tripod Stand
    - Pen
    - Paper
    - Theodolite
    III. GROUP MEMBERS AND DESIGNATION:

    - Chief Of Party:
    Siarot, Christoper

    - Assistant Chief of Party:


    Buyante, Garry M.
    - Recorder:
    Besana, Cindy M.
    - Utility Woman:
    Apduhan, Jecyl M.

    - Instrument Man:
    Lastua, Jhonboy L.

    - Instrument Woman:
    Cabalan, Jackie Lou
    Dedomo, Jelahmae S.

    - Pacer:
    Sawe, Mica V.

    - Computer:
    Bayarcal, Lea Rose
    - Aid woman:
    Cutab, Chrishell Mae D.
    Daleon, Chena Mae R.

    - Lineman:

    IV. PROCEDURE:
    - Take a backsight measurement (BS)
    - Move the rod
    - Take a foresight measurement (FS)
    - Move the instrument
    - Repeat the process until you reach your desired point

    V. DATA AND COMPUTATIONS:

    Given Elevation: 21.837


    BS HI FS Elev
    BM₁ 2.811 24.648 21.837
    TP₁ 4.985 29.575 .058 24.590
    TP₂ 1.753 30.824 .504 29.071
    BM₂ 1.234 29.590

    Reverse (Checking)
    BS HI FS Elev
    BM₂ 1.234 30.824 29.590
    TP₂ .503 29.574 1.753 29.071
    TP₁ .057 24.647 4.984 24.540
    BM₁ 2.811 21.836

    DETERMINING ERROR:
    ERROR = TRIAL – TRIAL
    ERROR = 21.837 – 21.836

    ERROR = 0.001 mm
    VI. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION:

    At exactly 9:00am Engr. Labaso gave the assumed elevation 21.837, after
    getting the assumed elevation we then started our series of readings and
    turning points. After we had our first trial, we then calculated the height of
    the instrument and its elevation. Then we take our arithmetic check and
    after it we then proceed to our second trial. We were cautious in our actions
    to achieve lesser than 10mm error, which will lead to repeat the survey.

    In conclusion, error in the field of survey is undeniably present and it is the


    duty of the surveyors to lessen and or to have no error at all. During our
    actual laboratory, we have learned a lot of techniques and strategies to avoid
    or lessen the error not only by our accurate readings but also by working as
    one group. This laboratory helps us to warm and enjoy each other’s
    company. We learn to understand and help each other’s struggle on the
    activity and as a team we solved the activity together.
