Q19: Answer the following questions: Satisfactory

response
19.1. What are Australian building standards? Write your answer Yes ☐ No ☐
 in 30-50 words.

19.2. How can you identify compliance requirements of the Australian

Standards relevant to carrying out levelling operations? Write your
answer in 30-50 words.

19.1
Australian standards help , maintain the safety, efficiency, and cost effectiveness of building
Australia, they outlines, guidelines, and detailed technical specifications, referenced in the
industry regulations, including the national construction code.

19.2 leveling is a process of determining the height of one level to another relative level, it is
used to establishing the elevation of point relative to datum, and establish a point at a given
elevation relative to datum.

Q20: Discuss the processes for setting out construction tasks for levelling Satisfactory
operations in 70-120 words. response
Yes ☐ No ☐

1. Set the levelling instrument to position one on the scale.

2. Take a reading while holding the staff on the Datum (RL+50 m). Because this is the first staff
reading after the levelling instrument has been set up, it will be a backsight.

3. Take a reading by moving the staff to A. This will be a sight for intermediates.

4. Take a reading by moving the staff to B. This will also be a beginner's sight.

5. Take a reading by moving the staff to C. Another intermediate sight will be seen here.

6. Take a reading while moving the staff to D. This will be a foresight because the level will be
 raised following this reading. (To keep the level the same, a change plate should be placed on
the ground.)

7. Measure the distance between the stations and record it in the field book (see Table 1).

8. Set the level to position two on the change plate and the staff to position D. Take a reading
by turning the staff so that it faces the level. This is going to be a backsight.

9. Change the staff to the E position and take a reading. This will be a sight for intermediates.

10. Change the staff to the F position and obtain a reading. This will be a foresight because the
level will be raised following this reading.

11. Now, on the change plate, shift the level to Leveling position three and leave the staff at F.

12. Now repeat steps 8 to 10 until you reach point J.
