Sample Notes For A Typical Level Loop

This document contains sample leveling notes for a loop that begins and ends at Benchmark A (BM A) via three temporary benchmarks (TBM 1, TP 1, TP 2, TP 3). The notes include point names or numbers, backsight (BS) and foresight (FS) measurements, accumulated elevations, and an arithmetic check showing the BS and FS sums are equal, confirming the leveling was done correctly.

ARITHMETIC CHECK
It is always a good practice to check level notes for arithmetic or calculator input
errors. Simply sum the BS and FS columns and compare the difference between them
with the starting and ending elevation for the level loop. An example follows.
The difference between the BS Sum and the FS Sum is 0.01.

The difference between the starting elevation of 5280.00 and the


ending elevation of 5280.01 is 0.01.
Since the differences are the same, the arithmetic checks. An arithmetic error
would exist if the differences had not been equal.
