    INTRODUCTION

    Leveling is a process to determine the vertical position of different points below, on, or
    above the ground. The difference in height between A and B is the difference between
    rod readings or ‘staff’. It is used in engineering to design highways, railways, canals,
    culverts, to lay out construction projects according to planned elevations and to calculate
    volume of earthworks and other materials. In surveying operations, vertical elevations
    and vertical control are generally derived independently of horizontal control.
    The term in surveying is 'datum' which means a point or line or reference surface to
    determine the height of a point on the surface. most countries use the Mean Sea Level
    (MSL) as the datum surface. Basic definition of backsight (BS) is the first ‘staff” reading
    taken immediately after setting up the instrument.

    Foresight (FS) is the last staff reading taken before moving the instrument to another
    Location. Intermediate sight (IS) is the staff measurement taken after the backsight and
    before the foresight. For the example details such as trees, lamppost, and others.
    So if the instrument is set up at one location only, there will be just one BS (first reading
    to a TBM). One FS (last reading) and several IS.

    OBJECTIVE
    1.To determine the height of a given point with respect to some assumed reference line.
    2. Use the tool in a correct way
    3. To compile and analyze land-related and geographically connected data.
    4. To use such data, in the planning and management of land, sea and any constructions
    that exist there.
    5. Know to adjust and check the levelling data

    EQUIPMENT
    1) Automatic Level
    - An automatic level is a precise optical instrument used in surveying and engineering to
    measure height differentials and establish level reference points across a construction site or
    project area.

    2) Levelling Staff
    - A leveling staff, also known as a leveling rod or survey rod, is an essential tool used in
    surveying and engineering to measure vertical distances or elevations accurately. It consists of a
    long, slender, and graduated rod marked with precise measurement intervals.

    3) Staff Bubbles
    - In the context of surveying and leveling instruments, "staff bubbles" typically refer to the
    bubble vials or spirit levels incorporated into the leveling staff. These bubbles aid in ensuring
    that the staff is held vertically upright during measurements, which is crucial for accuracy in
    determining elevations.

    4) Tripod
    - A leveling tripod is an essential accessory used in surveying and engineering to support
    leveling instruments such as levels, theodolites, and total stations. It provides a stable and
    adjustable platform for positioning the instrument at the desired height and orientation for
    accurate measurements.

    FIELD WORK PROCEDURE


    - Field work procedures in surveying and engineering involve a systematic approach to
    collecting data, making observations, and performing measurements in the field.

    1) Planning and Preparation


     Define objectives: Clearly outline the goals and objectives of the field work, such as collecting
    topographic data, establishing control points, or conducting as-built surveys.
     Site reconnaissance: Conduct a preliminary site visit to familiarize yourself with the terrain,
    access points, and any potential obstacles or safety hazards.
     Equipment preparation: Ensure that all necessary surveying instruments, tools, and supplies are
    in working order and properly calibrated. This includes levels, total stations, GPS equipment,
    leveling rods, tripods, measuring tapes, and field notebooks.
     Safety protocols: Develop and implement safety protocols to ensure the well-being of field
    personnel and mitigate risks associated with working in outdoor environments. This may include
    wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), identifying emergency procedures,
    and adhering to local regulations.

    2) Field Data Collection


     Field notes: Record detailed field notes documenting observations, measurements, and any
    relevant information, including weather conditions, equipment settings, and notable site
    conditions.

    3) Quality Control and Assurance


     Check measurements: Verify the accuracy and consistency of measurements through redundant
    observations, repeat measurements, or comparison with known control points.
     Data validation: Review and validate collected data to ensure completeness, accuracy, and
    adherence to project requirements and specifications.
     Error detection and correction: Identify and correct any errors or discrepancies in measurements,
    observations, or data recording to maintain data integrity and reliability.

    6
    4) Documentation and Reporting
     Field reports: Compile comprehensive field reports summarizing the activities, findings, and
    results of the field work, including descriptions of survey methods, collected data, and any
    noteworthy observations or issues encountered.
     Data management: Organize and manage field data systematically, using standardized formats
    and procedures for storage, retrieval, and archival.
     Deliverables: Prepare deliverables such as maps, plans, drawings, or digital datasets based on the
    collected field data, tailored to the specific requirements of project stakeholders, clients, or
    regulatory agencies.

    5) Post-Field Work Evaluation


     Review and analysis: Analyze the collected data and field observations to identify patterns,
    trends, or anomalies that may inform subsequent project phases or decision-making processes.
     Lessons learned: Reflect on the field work experience to identify strengths, weaknesses, and
    opportunities for improvement in procedures, techniques, or equipment usage.
     Documentation and dissemination: Document lessons learned, best practices, and
    recommendations for future field work projects, and share this knowledge with relevant team
    members or stakeholders to enhance project performance and efficiency.

    CONCLUSION
    -In conclusion, the leveling survey conducted at the location has provided valuable insights into
    the topographic characteristics and elevation profiles of the surveyed area.

    -5 main sources of Error in levelling is firstly, Instrumental Errors it is the error that arises on
    account of the defects or certain problems associated with the instruments that are used
    forlevelling. There are many type of instrumental error one of them is imperfect adjustment of
    level. The temporary adjustment of the instrument is done such that the line of collimation is
    horizontal. When the collimation is properly adjusted, the line of collimation is absolutely
    parallel to the instrument's bubble axis and becomes completely hoizontal when the bubble is
    center. On the other hand, when the instrument is not adjusted properly, the line of collimation is
    inclined even though the bubble is centred.

    - Finally my group was able to complete all the assignments given by the lecturer.
