  1. Surveying Equipment

  2. Builder’s Level A telescope instrument used to check level of forms or field grades. Builders' levels are designed to be used for short distances. Farm or dumpy levels are similar to builder's levels, but have more powerful telescopes. Farm levels are used for longer distances. Both instruments are leveled manually using adjusting screws. An “auto” level requires less manual leveling and has only three leveling screws

  3. Transit Similar to a level, but a transit telescope can be tilted vertically to measure vertical angles. Surveyor’s have generally replaced these with “Total Stations”, but transits are still used to measure vertical angles in construction.

  4. Hand Level The hand level is held in the hand thus providing little accuracy

  5. Used to hold a level or other survey instrument. To protect threads, keep cap on when not in use. Surveying Tripod

  6. Rod reads elevations directly (without subtraction from the HI) by used a sliding tape. Some rods have a cut/fill scale for use in grading. Direct Elevation Rod

  7. Reads like a tape measure. An adjustable target is available to allow readings up to 700 feet in distance. Philadelphia Rod

  8. Used with the surveyor’s rod to allow readings at a greater distance Rod Target

  9. Laser Level A level that used a rotating laser beam to establish a level plane. Leveling can be done with a single person.

  10. The receiver that detects the laser beam of the laser level. Can be fitted to a Philadelphia or Direct Elevation rod. Laser Level Receiver

  11. A simple pole used in lieu of a rod where elevation measurement is not needed Range Pole

  12. Quite often called a “chain.” These may be stored on a reel or coiled Surveyor’s Steel Tape

  13. Sizes range from 10 to 14 inches in length. Used to mark distances when "chaining" or measuring distance. Surveyor’s Arrows
