Procedure For Setting Out

The document provides instructions for setting out an embankment slope by measuring distances and reduced levels from fixed points to locate the toe of the slope, repeating the process every 5 meters until the measured ground level matches the calculated slope level. It also briefly defines common surveying instruments used in the process such as a tripod, automatic level, and level staff.

PROCEDURE for SETTING OUT

1.From the Road Design / Plans obtain the reduced level of A . 2. Peg out point C by measuring a distance horizontally from F at right angles to the centreline. 3.Peg out points at 5m intervals from point C towards and beyond T. 4. Measure the reduced level on the ground surface at the first 5m peg 5. Calculate the proposed reduced level of on the embankment slope above this point. 6. Compare the measure and calculated values at the 5m point, if the ground level measured is lower than the calculated slope level, the toe is located a further 5m away from C. 7. Repeat the procedure for the 10m peg.

INSTRUMENTS

A surveyor's tripod is a device used to support any one of a number of surveying instruments, such as theodolites, total stations, levels or transits

Automatic level is an optical instrument with a compensator mechanism that is used in site survey or construction to set horizontal levels.

A level staff, also called levelling rod, is a graduated wooden or aluminum rod, rods are special purpose rods used to ease conducting topographical surveys.
