Description (1.5/6.0):
Describe WH&S procedure that needs to be followed.
Description of the equipment (including the details of company that manufactured
the equipment, year of manufacture (if available), etc.)
Identify alternative instrument that could be used to carry out the surveying work.
Particularly, identify and describe the advanced equipment that is available in the
market.
Detailed description of the procedure adopted for surveying including the procedure
used to calculate the errors.
Ensure the report includes original hand-written observation sheet(s) in the
Appendix.
Calculations, discussions and error description (3.0/6.0):
Present the data gathered and the results of calculations.
Calculate RLs for all the points.
Discuss the results obtained and provide conclusions. Results must include the
reduced levels (RL) for all the points surveyed during the practicals including the
unknown benchmarks. You may use rise and fall method to calculate the RLS.
Carryout all the checks.
Estimate the allowable error using mn.
Discuss observed results.
Briefly explain the precision of levelling.
Identify and explain the sources of error and describe how these errors can be
minimised in practice.

It is a well structured
excellent
engineering report.
Followed the standard
format very well.
Include actual booking sheets or any other information collected during the surveying in
the Appendix. Keep the booking sheets neat!! Do not rub out errors just put a single line
through the error and write the revised reading above it.
Each member of the group must contribute towards the writing of the report. Clearly
explain the role of each member both on the field and while report writing in the
introduction chapter of the report.
This report needs to be submitted via Turnitin by 12.00 noon Friday 16/08/2012. The
