The surface is onthe same even grade as that ofthe bottom of ‘ne excavation. The excavation was made no bigger than was required to lower the pipe into position. The lower postion ofthe excavation was cult the diameter of he pipe. twas then decided tha this pipe was insuificent ang that a pipe of 2,750 metras external diameter be laid instead Pegs every 20 metres were putin on one of the side walls ofthe excavation, the fst and inst Begs being execlly 2 metres above the bottom ofthe excavation and others at ‘varying distances above the bottom ofthe excavation. The following inverted Staff readings were taken from these pegs and the frst pag st zero ie 10 mottes below a datum point [sins jay Pa a “ 1 Reduce the leveling records using either the rise and fall or height of colimation method 2.
