QUESTION 1
The levelling data below relates to a flight of levels observed along the centreline of a road. A sight has
also been taken to the underside of a footbridge over the road at chainage 2190. The chainage of each
point in the table below is its horizontal distance from a survey mark measured along the road centreline.
BS IS FS RL Chainage (m) Remarks
1.830 139.350 2050 Road Surface
1.732 2.730 2150 Road Surface
-1.098 2190 U/side of bridge
0.816 2.632 2250 Road Surface
1.207 1.726 2350 Road Surface
2.107 2450 Road Surface
a) Compute the reduced level of the points using the rise and fall method and apply all the
usual checks. [Do NOT apply any adjustment methods. Show your answers in meters
correct to 3 decimal places]
b) What is the average grade of the road centreline between chainages 2050 and 2450?
[Write your answer in percentage grade correct to 1 decimal place]
c) A short section of the road, between chainage 2160 and 2240, is missing as a result of the
washaway and is to be rebuilt. The tallest vehicle that will pass over the rebuilt section stands
4.10 m above the road surface. If the road is rebuilt in the same place from which it appears to
have been washed away, will the tallest vehicle pass safely under the bridge, or will it hit?
Explain your answer.

QUESTION 2
In the figures below (Figure 1 and Figure 2), calculate the bearings of all the sides in the
traverses, if the bearing of the line CB in Figure 1 is 305°40’02” and the bearing of the line FA
in Figure 2 is 331°20’40”. Provide your answers in sexagesimal system rounded to the nearest
1”. Note: figures are not to scale.

QUESTION 3
Using the “Radiation” technique, the bearings and horizontal distances are measured between
the station pairs A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E and E-A. From these stations, bearings and horizontal
distances are also measured to six fence posts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. All these measurements are shown
in the figure below. The coordinates of A are Easting: 1000.000m, Northing: 5000.000m.

QUESTION 4
A four-sided traverse is measured in the field, as illustrated below. Point A is a survey mark
with known coordinates of 1000.000E, 2500.000N.
From To Bearing Distance
A B 70º 30′ 00″ 78.934 m
B C ? 124.569 m
C D ? 298.012 m
D A ? 170.706 m
a) Determine the angular misclosure of the traverse ABCD. Provide your answer in
sexagesimal system rounded to the nearest 1”.
b) Determine the adjusted bearings of lines BC, CD, DA. Provide your answer in
sexagesimal system rounded to the nearest 1”.
c) Using the adjusted bearings and distances for the traverse ABCD, calculate the
following:
i. the linear misclosure (in meters correct to 3 decimal places)
ii. the precision in reciprocal form
d) remove the linear misclosure using Bowditch’s rule and calculate the adjusted
coordinates in meters correct to 3 decimal places.
(1 + 1.5 + (0.75 + 0.75) + 3 = 7 marks)
