The Dumpy Level remains a reliable workhorse in elevation surveys and is still widely used in construction and land leveling work. But accuracy is only as good as the data recorded.
This Dumpy Level Field Book (PDF) provides:
-
Clear columns for back sight (BS), intermediate sight (IS), and fore sight (FS)
-
Running totals and reduced levels (RL) with space for station and remarks
-
Neatly formatted grid to reduce transposition errors
-
Ideal for longitudinal sections, building plinth surveys, and land development
Paired with a good leveling staff and steady tripod, this field book enhances the discipline and repeatability of elevation control surveys.
