The elevation differences between stations are tabulated:

Stations Elevation differences between

stations
A-B 15.632

B-C 32.458

C-D 38.244

D-A 55.025

Determine the misclosure:

M 15.632 32.458 38.244 55.025
0.045 m
45 mm

Determine the correction at each BM using the relation:

length
Correction at each BM misclosure
total length

As the misclosure is positive the error must be subtracted at each BM.

The adjusted elevations are tabulated:
