AIM
o To measure and know the height of structure laboratory.
THEORY
o Levelling refers to height measurements for representing the relative difference in height
(altitude) between various points on the earths surface.
o Level readings can be taken either from one location (one set-up levelling) or from various
stations, if some points of interest are not visible.
o A level survey can be used for setting-out purposes, the presentation of soil profiles etc., as
will be discussed later in the subject.
o Levelling is the process by which elevations of points or differences in elevation are
determined.
o Levelling is the measurement of geodetic height using an optical levelling instrument and
a level staff or rod having a numbered scale.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion ,we are able to obtain the data through the usage of levelling equipment
provided by lecturer. Even though some errors occurred, we were able to identify it and performed an
adjustment to the data we obtained on site. Then, using the obtained data, we were able to conduct a
field work report.
