3
A surveying method that yields elevations at definite points along a reference line.
Profile leveling establishes a side view or cross sectional view of the earth’s surface
Primary use is for utilities:A. HighwaysB. CanalsC. SewersD. Water mainsE. SidewalksF. Retaining wallsG. Fences
All of these need accurate information about the topography along the route.
Definition:
Characteristics
May be a single segment.
4
May be straight segments connected with curves.
May be multiple segments which change directions with angle points.
Procedure
5
It is a common practice to use a procedure called stationing.
1. Stations are established at uniform distances along the route.
2. Standard station distance is 100 feet.
3. Half or quarter stations are used when the topography is very variable.
4. The distance from the starting point to the station is used as the station identification.
Procedure-cont.
Intermediate foresights: foresights taken at stations that are not used as benchmarks or turning points.
6
Intermediate foresights are recorded at each standard
station and at additional stations as needed to define the
topography of the route.
Purpose is to define the topography along the
route.High points
Low points
Changes in slope
Critical points
Roads
Highway
Gutters
Sidewalks
Defining an Object Because profile leveling is used to measure the
cross section of and the location of objects along a route, one important issue is determining how many stations are required to define the object.
The answer is, it depends on the object and the use of the data.
For example: how many stations would be required to define the cross section of a standard trapezoidal ditch?

An Object-Ditch --contA ditch may have been a trapezoid
when constructed, but over time it will change its shape.
What is the effect on the number of stations if a channel has developed in the bottom of the ditch?

An Object-Street
9
Another common object is a street.The number of stations required to define
the cross section of a street depends on the required information.◦Do you need to know the height of the curb?
Turning Points-cont.
When distances to foresights become too long or when the terrain obstructs the view of the instrument, turning points are established.
10
Foresights on turning points and benchmarks are true foresights.
Profile leveling is differential leveling with the addition of intermediate foresights.

ExampleIn the first example the existing sidewalks
were used as benchmarks because they were part of the finished design.
When there are no existing structures that can be used for a benchmark, or when all of the existing structures will be removed during construction, a benchmark must be established out side of the construction zone.
In this situation, the notes are started different.

Profile with side bench mark

Step 1 The principles are the same. The difference is that in this case the BS is taken on the
benchmark not the first station.
14
The notes use the same column--they just start with the BM instead of 0.0.

Step 2 Record the first foresight. In this example the first foresight (0+00) is an intermediate foresight.

Step 3 Add additional intermediate foresights as needed until the first
turning point is reached.
