Finally, at the end of this precise levelling survey fieldwork, we are able to describe the
individual components of the automatic level. Precise levelling survey is a particularly
accurate method of differential levelling which uses highly accurate levels and a more
rigorous observing procedure than general engineering levelling. It aims to achieve high
orders of accuracy such as 1 mm per 1 km traverse. After completing the precise levelling
survey, we are able to understand how to understand and describe al tools. Example of tripod,
level staff, automatic level and spirit bubble.
During the precise levelling survey, we are facing lot of difficulties when precise levelling
survey was conducted, as we described in the discussion and analysis section. Such as not
follow the procedure, the staff is close to the Instrument, levelling across not flat side,
levelling across trees, levelling along steep slope, levelling across depression or rising
ground.
For the improvement, it is important to follow the procedure correctly and to set the
equipment’s with the technique properly because a wrong setup might cause inaccurate
results. In addition, we must take care of the instruments we used to conduct the
measurement. If a device or instrument breaks, it will have an impact not only on the
fieldwork but also on how others use it. We should have care, therefore, be taken when taking
larger readings. This error can be avoided by keeping the staff vertical by having a spirit level
or a pendulum plumb-bob attached to the staff or by waving the staff and noting the smallest
reading. Also, we need to know how to read the readings from the theodolite.
Finally, the fact that we should look after our group members, ourselves, and the instruments
or equipment we used to conduct this fieldwork. Because we need to measure it through the
road, it is better to have someone stop the vehicles passing through the road while we finish
the measurement. After completing the fieldwork, we gain a lot of knowledge about linear
measuring procedures. There is also a considerable gap between learning all of these
techniques in the book and subsequently practicing them. When we need to do the survey on
the certain area given, we can practice the techniques and know much better than before.
