PRACTICAL ASSIGNMENT 2 (50)

23. A surveyor was engaged to carry out a tachometric leveling survey over the proposed
construction site of the mayoral residence. His main task was to show the topographical nature
of the site by way of spot heights and contours, hence he decided to use a grid layout for his
contouring. He took leveling shots at 20m intervals. His results are shown below. (25)
