Project: C) Block Contouring

The document describes block contouring, a surveying method for areas that are not extensive. The area is divided into squares of varying sizes from 5m to 2m based on ground conditions and contour interval. Elevations are taken at square corners and interpolated between to plot the contours. Instruments and an observation table are listed but not described.

PROJECT: C) BLOCK CONTOURING

AIM: To perform Block Contouring.


THEORY:-
This method is suitable for when the area is not very extensive. In this method the area is divided into series of the squares and the

corners of the squares are marked with the pegs. The size of square varies from 5 m to 2 m side depending upon the nature of ground

and contour interval. The square need not to be same size throughout. Each separate square is pegged out. The elevation of the ground

at the corners of the square are determined with a level. Intermediate points within the square may be taken when required and

may be located on the diagonals of the squares or by the measurement from the corners. The system of square is plotted and

near each corner is written its elevation. The corner lines are the interpolated in the usual way
