Surveying 2 - Taking a level reading - OTEN Building & Construction

[@ejmtv3]

I am a computer programmer but I just love learning new things.

[@ThinusDuToit-v8r]

I study civil engineering and I have a prac tomorrow so these vids are a great refresher. Thanks

[@darrenllewellyn1675]

Guys, great job making these videos. Great review for my students. Thanks.

[@engineerprudent3367]

I have been searching for such a video. I am happy that finally i have seen what i have been looking for.

[@armorvestrus4119]

These videos are so informative, great teaching thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@irfantech5421]

Well done sir I m new your subscriber very good . Best of luck sir .chief surveyor irfan tech from Pakistan

[@darionjames6560]

Hey, Great Video, just one thing you forgot to include is the additional equipment that comes the instruments E.G (Vial Level); for those who might not be familiar with the name it is a device that clips onto the staff at the back like a clip on version of the bubble found on the Leveling Instrument which is used to aid the process of centering the leveling machine as shown in previous tutorial, it help the person holding the staff to always ensure a reading is more accurate by leveling the staff bubble...

[@KelvinMukuwa-vr8yk]

These teachings are informative keep on sharing powerful knowledge

[@JonSmith-cx7gr]

Jasons waving needs work...... It's hard to get the staff.

[@luqmaanladane40]

Well understand, i like surveying and it is one of my profession skills. Thank you sir.

[@nagiibismail3366]

you are very good and you teach very well but we request you to make your explanation with subtitles to understand every person who needs it thank you for your helping

[@Bluesky_construct2567]

Very accurate measurement tape.

[@midwesthall]

GOOD WORK. WITH THAT EXPLANATION ITS THIS INSTRUMENT... MADE EASY......

[@StillSkrilla]

Why are you after the lowest reading? I don't understand? Generally you want to hold a rod plum? What kind of surveying is this?

[@SpydersByte]

+Adam Smith Yes you want to hold it plum but the person holding it can't tell whether or not it is perpendicular to the ground so they need to wave it. If the staff is leaning forward or leaning backward the reading would be higher than it would be if the staff was perpendicular so he knows at the lowest reading the staff is perfectly perpendicular. Think of the hypotenuse of a right triangle being longer than the perpendicular leg.

[@StillSkrilla]

I see now, thanks. We do not use leveling rods to do house locations which is what I mainly do at this point so I appreciate the response.

[@bayoupirate3808]

Thank You very much, this has been more help than you could ever imagne.

[@armorvestrus4119]

Yes that is true, the staff should come width an instruction booklet. My level has a booklet but saying nothing about how to read the staff and they just assume you already know. But some people who use these do not have the time or money to do four years of college to learn basic survey methods.

[@nvraman]

good effort, l have agri land and i was wondering what needs to be done for levelling and contour bunding, this series of videos helped me understand well.

[@ezinventor3274]

wow I am glad i found these videos

[@PracticeMakePerfectMuslim93]

thank for enlighten us surveyor to use the tools equiqment correctly ❤

[@engsamerm.alhadi3449]

How did Dave read the staff while it was still waving?

[@Mackyanguson]

Great video now I know how i can obtain accurate elevation reading from the staff without supporting the staff with a staff bubble

[@Loki-qu2kw]

Alright. Where would be the reading 1.312 and 1.302 on staff? Please elaborate.

[@sharp_tooter]

you've forgotten to show how to set up your most critical point of reference. your datum. How do you accurately measure the eye height at the level?

[@sagarchand5737]

great work, guys!!!

[@hlalelemohale7296]

Thanks but please show on the side,how do you see through the lens

[@geletaobsa9127]

What caneds of staff reading push & Attraction? Essentially???

[@jonarleones3274]

how did he estimate the 2 mm reading??

[@wapozgamunyenyembe5341]

Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful

[@samukelisiwemasthole1464]

Why are you waving the staff?

[@tangetivenkateswarrao871]

Is waving staff really works?? if it works, absolutely its a helpful one.

[@nilontravel282]

I like your information about levelling..,

[@AmjadAli-yx6eh]

thanks for uploading very help full

[@migranthawker2952]

VERY important step missed out - the graticule inside the eyepiece needs to be focussed for the user, otherwise it will be impossible to get a true readin!

[@shubhthakur9664]

Hey dear how can I contact you??

[@sarini9065]

thnk u vry mch for these videos.

[@amitirengbam]

I need more of this videos

Nice

[@mahmoodsheikh4046]

ThankU

[@mithunsharma9005]

nice

[@asadlal7527]

sorry but the staff guy holding staff during u read or take the reading is wrong because staff man always stand straight and he will keep the staff in between feet and staff must b touch to his nose

[@thereasonableatheist281]

Actually waving it is the way to get the most accurate reading. It's more accurate than if you have a Vial level on you staff

[@khangebirdshouseswabi2116]

Good

[@Sounds722]

ямар гоё аашгүй багш вэээ

[@duerf5826]

Me as an American who uses a stick that measures in feet and inches: "Fml..."

[@nickkadiyala3478]

I was thinking the same thing lmao. The Aussies got it right

[@HarshRajAlwaysfree]

it would have been me if the video was in feet and inches

[@midwesthall]

I REMEMBER MY TRAINING DAYS..LOL..I WAS THE FIRST IN CLASS TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO ATTACH THE LEVEL ONTO THE TRIPOD...BOY WAS TWO DUMB ASS JEALOUS AND THROWING WORDS AT ME BASTARDS...WONDER WHERE ARE THEY NOW .?

[@GhostofCTC]

Wave the staff back and forth? I’ve never heard such bullshit in all my life

[@paulhnry]

That's why aussies put 0 on the end of everyone's name aye. 0.80, 0.810, Shaneo, Daveo and Jono.
