 Contouring From Grid (Spot Elevation)

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Make the grid which has (1m*1m) dimension on the area shown above, choose any point
around your area and assume it the bench mark which has (600m) elevation.
Read the rod reading for all point from (A1 TO F4) and write it in the table.

1.386 599.909 A1

1.348 599.947 F2
1.365 599.93 F3
1.369 599.926 F4
 Sample of calculation:
 HI = 600+1.295=601.295
Elevation = HI – FS =601.295 – 1.369= 599.926
Elevation = HI – IS =601.295 – 1.386 = 599.909

 CHECK:
∑ 𝐵𝑆 – ∑ FS = Last Elev – First Elev

1.295 − 1.369 = 599.926 − 600

−0.074 = −0.074 It’s OK

 Elevation

4 599.923 600.142 600.157 600.172 600.087 599.926

Maximum Elevation = 600.172

Minimum Elevation = 599.909
 2. Draw the grid and place elevation on each point (The drawingg
should be to scale).
 3. Draw the contour lines (5 lines) and write the elevations on
contour lines.

600.172 − 599.909
= = 0.06575
5−1
 Contour line 1 = min. elevation + Contour interval
Contour Line 1 = 599.909+0.06575 = 599.9748

 Contour line 2 = Contour line 1 + Contour interval

Contour Line 2 =599.9748+ 0.06575 = 600.04055

 Contour line 3 = Contour line 2 + Contour interval

Contour Line 3 =600.04055+ 0.06575 = 600.1063

 Contour line 4 = Contour line 3 + Contour interval

Contour Line 4 =600.1063+ 0.06575 = 600.172

 Contour line 5 = Contour line 4 + Contour interval

Contour Line 5 =600.172 + 0.06575 = 600.2378
