How to use a theodolite to measure the verticality of a stripping tower?
Thread Content
We need to install a set of equipment, and one of the stripping towers requires its verticality to be measured using a theodolite. I’m not sure how to carry out this measurement or where to determine the base point
I’ve encountered similar problems too; I’m waiting with you for someone to come and help us out, waiting and waiting~! !
Method for measuring the verticality of towers at installation sites using a theodolite: 1. Set up the theodolite at a height from the ground that is approximately half of the tower’s total height (adjust this distance according to the specific conditions at the site), and level it out. 2. Perform a horizontal measurement of the tower’s lower wall to establish a reference point. 3. Starting from the lower wall of the tower, measure the vertical deviation of the same point on the wall, the tower body, and the top of the tower, moving upward. 4. Adjust the footplate under the tower based on these deviations. 5. Repeat the process by measuring the deviation on the other side at 90-degree angles and making corresponding adjustments. These steps are provided for reference only.
