Step by step guide on how to establish a level with levelling Equipment
Here is a general step-by-step guide to establishing a level using levelling equipment:
- Set up your levelling equipment on a tripod or other stable platform in a level location. Make sure that the bubble on the levelling device is centered and that the tripod is stable and level.
- Place a levelling staff or rod at your first reference point. This should be a fixed point that you can easily measure from, such as a known benchmark or the corner of a building.
- Sight through the levelling instrument’s eyepiece and adjust the tripod so that the bubble is centered and the crosshairs are aligned with the reference point on the levelling staff.
- Record the reading from the levelling instrument and the reference point. This will be your starting elevation.
- Move the levelling staff to your next reference point, making sure to keep it vertical and at the same height as before.
- Sight through the eyepiece and adjust the tripod as necessary to center the bubble and align the crosshairs with the reference point on the levelling staff.
- Record the reading from the levelling instrument and the reference point. This will be the elevation at the second reference point.
- Repeat this process at each reference point until you have established a level line between all of your reference points.
- Use the recorded elevations to determine the difference in elevation between each reference point and create a map or other visual representation of the level line.
