Profile
The process of profile leveling obtains the elevations of a series of points along continueous line such as roadssewers drains.The elevation are required at every 25 metre station. These elevation when plotted show a vertical section of the surface.
Crossection
Crossection are line of levels or short profile made perpendicular to the center line of project.These elevation when plotted show a longitude section of the surface.
Intermediate foresight ![]()
Once a level has been set up and leveled, a backsight taken, any number of foresight can be read for the purpose of determining elevations of various points without moving the level. Foresight that do not establish turning points are called intermediate foresight (IFS).
