Level Run Accuracy
The National Mapping Council of Australia has
published standard specifications and recommended practices for vertical
control surveys. These surveys must conform to the following standards of
accuracy:
-
First Order: Differential levlling. Misclosure not to exceed mm ► 4 √k
(where ‘k’ is the
distance in kilometres of a circuit or between bench marks)
- Second Order: Differential levelling. Misclosure not to exceed mm ► 8.4 √k.
- Third Order: Differential levelling. Misclosure not exceed mm ► 12 √ k.
- Fourth Order: Sufficient to control contouring of
the area to be mapped either by differential, trigonometric levelling.
First Order Levelling. Very little first
order levelling is carried out due to the high cost.
Second Order Levelling for the establishment of primary bench marks.
Third Order Levelling for the establishment of other registered bench marks.
Control Levelling to evaluate temporary bench marks for minor projects.
Please make sure you have you are within misclosure limits for Project 3
