Question

A link traverse has been conducted between two temporary benchmarks of known elevation and includes an inverted staff measurement at the underside of a bridge.  The known reduced level of TBM 47 is 52.716 m and the known reduced level of TBM 48 is 51.227 m. 

What is the misclose, in mm, of the levelling traverse? 

After correcting for misclose, what is the corrected reduced level of the underside of the bridge?  Apply your misclose corrections on the basis of distance (assuming the misclose accumulates linearly with distance during the survey).  Answer in meters.
