setting grade
Scope
Setting grade (elevation) may well be the most frequent use of leveling on the jobsite. Initially, the leveling activity will be concentrated on establishing benchmarks throughout the jobsite. After the benchmarks are placed, however, they will then be used in giving elevations to the crafts for the numerous construction activities that are constantly occurring. Setting grade can be performed using a hand level, dumpy level, automatic level, digital level, laser level, or even a total station. The choice of instrument depends on the amount of time available to set the grade, the precision of the elevations needed, and instrument availability.
