DESCRIPTION
levelling
Citation preview
First vertical datum used for Peninsular Malaysia is LAND
SURVEY DATUM (LSD1912)
Establish in 1912 by British Admiralty Surveyors
At Port Swettenham (Port Kelang)
Based on 1 year tidal observations
No records and evidences
In 1983, DSMM began to redetermine the precise MSL value in
conjunction with the establishment of the new Precise
Levelling Network for Peninsular Malaysia.
This was carried out by the setting-up of a Tidal Observation
Network that consists of 12 tidal stations.
Port Kelang was selected for the adoption as a reference for
the NGVD origin, based upon a 10-year tidal observations
period (1984-93).
BACKGROUND
PRECISE LEVELLING
In 1994, a monument to signify the establishment of the NGVD
was built within the DSMM compound in Kuala Lumpur.
Port Kelang Datum was extended to the new monument via
precise levelling and gravity survey.
The Precise Levelling Network project was conducted in 1984.
The project consists of establishing a first-order levelling
survey along main roads and highways.
It consists of 2089 precise levelling bench marks over a
distance of 1946 km
Second class levelling were also carried out to densify the
network.
A total of 824 bench marks have been established using this
technique, covering a distance of 1158 km.
The whole network has precision ranging from 3 to 12 mm per
km which correspond to first and second class requirements.
It incorporate corrections for rod scale, temperature, level
collimation and refraction.
PRECISE LEVELLING
INTRODUCTION
Precise levelling is used where a high degree of
accuracy is required for determination of the
elevations of various points.
Also known as First Order Levelling
Being used as a method of height transfer from one
point to another
Also required to set up critical engineering structure
such as dam, tunnel etc.
PRECISE LEVELLING METHOD
CONVENTIONAL PRECISE LEVELLING
DIGITAL PRECISE LEVELLING
MOTORISED LEVELLING
Used optical precise levelling and parallel plate micrometer
Graduated invar staff
Manually recorded
Used digital automatic level

GENERAL GUIDELINES
The following are the general guidelines which should be
considered while planning precise levelling.
• Always set-up the tripod on a firm ground. Push the tripod
legs firmly into the ground.
• The BS and FS distance should be balanced. Take
minimum possible time between BS and FS readings at
each set up to reduce errors due to changes in
atmospheric conditions.
• Select suitable turning point/change point. The selected
point should not settle between BS and FS.
• Use precise levelling instruments and precise staffs.
• Avoid levelling during the period of severe heat waves.
Levelling in cloudy weather is preferable. Use an umbrella
to shade the instrument on sunny day. Levelling should be
done in the morning or evening to reduced the refraction
effects.
• Stop the work when there are strong winds.
• Keep the line of sight at least 0.3 meter above ground
surface to reduce shimmering effects.
• Keep the instruments in perfect adjustments. Test the
instruments frequently.
• Special base plates with rounded tops should be used for
turning point/change point so that the base of the staff can
be kept at same position for the BS and FS.
The levels used should be the precise type.
The level instrument must be fitted with a Parallel
Plate Micrometer attachment.
The glass diaphragms should be fitted with at least
one vertical line
a leveling line
two stadia lines

Classical Precise Level
PRECISE LEVEL WITH PARALEL PLATE MICROMETER
PARALLEL-PLATE MICROMETER
A parallel-plate micrometer is the device which is either
attached to the levelling instrument or build into the levelling
instrument itself.
This is a modification of the conventional level in which a
parallel plate micrometer is placed in front of the objective
lens.
This allows the image of the staff graduation to be moved up
or down by very small measurable amounts.
Used to read the smallest fraction of the precise staff
The movement of cross hair from its original position to the
nearest staff segment can be obtained from the micrometer
reading
This eliminates gross estimation.
For sight lengths of under 50m, single reading accuracies of
0.02mm to 0.03mm can be achieved.
Two precise staffs are to be used.
Graduation are marked in 0.01 meter
Before use and thereafter at intervals of 3
months the staffs are to be calibrate.
Staffs
Staff are to be supported on turning points.

Precise Staffs
Readings
Readings are to be made in the following order:
1. lower stadia line
2. upper stadia line
3. leveling line
4. leveling line
5. lower stadia line
6. upper stadia line
8. leveling line only
7. leveling line only
Odd staff
Even staff

Odd staff
The time taken between readings 3 and 4 and between
readings 7 and 8 should be reduced to a minimum.
Between readings 6 and 7 the telescope is to be
dislevelled by turning the gradienter screw and carefully
relevelled by the use of the same screw only
The same staff , say the odd , shall always be used at
bench marks. Staff numbers should be entered in the
appropriate space in the field book.
The back staff will be read first at the odd stations and the
forward staff first at even stations.
Booking will be carried out in field books designed for this
method of observation.
Readings are to be made to the nearest 0.00001 meter by
estimation on the micrometer drum
Readings
Readings
Readings
The sum of the stadia readings and the sum of
the two level readings on the same staff are
within 0.0050 meter.
The difference between the two level readings
on the same staff is not more than 0.0006
meter.
Tolerences
To eliminate axis irregularities, the level should
always be placed in the same position relative to
the staffs one particular footscrew always
pointing to the same staff.
Footscrews must not be altered during a sight,
bubble adjustment being made by the use of the
gradienter screw.
Setting up
Bubble adjustments
Line of sight
Staff and instrument stations must be carefully
selected so that the line of sight does not pass
close to the ground. Readings must not be made
to the lowest 0.3 meter of the staff.
The optimum length of sight is normally 40 meters,
but under favorable condition it may be extended
to 50 meters.
The back and forward staff should be equidistant
from the level to within 1 meter.
Observations should be made in the very early morning
and late afternoon and must be discontinued when the
atmospheric conditions make observations difficult.
Staff must be tested weekly by plumbob for
verticality and also be compared with each
other face to face and back to back.
Verticality of Staffs
Observations periods
Turning points should be in position at least
half an hour before use and staffs must not
be held on them until the surveyor is ready
for observation.
The day’s work must always be closed on a
permanent bench mark or culvert.
Setting of turning point
Each section is to be levelled in one direction in
the morning and in the opposite direction in the
afternoon. The direction of the morning leveling is
to be reversed in alternate sections. In single line
leveling the direction is to be reversed in alternate
sections.
Directions
Sections must be relevelled in both directions when
the discrepancy between forward and backward
levelling exceed 0.003 / K meters where K is the
distance in Kilometers.
The difference in level will be obtained from the
mean difference of the two level line reading.
Stadia line readings are to serve as a check on gross
error only and are not to be included in the
computations.
