INTRODUCTION

Two Peg Test is a surveying operation carried out to determine whether the levelling
bubble and telescope line of sight are parallel. By using the leveling method, work for
establishing Temporary Bench Mark (TBM) was done. Bench Mark (BM) must be known
first. BM point determined by Land Surveyor is final. Distances between backsight and
foresight must be more or less equivalent to avoid collimation errors. The survey work is to
ensure so that the true error is smaller than the permissible error. Bench Mark (BM) is a fixed
point on the Earth surface which its level is known height of collimation is line of collimation
level from datum. Temporary Bench Mark (TBM) is a nearest point as reference if the Bench
Mark (BM) is far from surveying area. Backsight is the first sight taken after temporary
leveling of the instrument has been carried out. Foresight is last sight taken before the
instrument is transferred to another point.
AIM
Peg test is carried out in order to determine whether the leveling bubble (bubble axis) and
telescope line-of-sight (line of collimation) are parallel.
