  3. BMs are shown on proposed plans of construction. BM number, station, offset and elevation are shown. Check every Bench listed in plans. Third order accuracy. Chapter 4- Bench Checks

  4. Preparation and Documentation Manual • 8.4.5 Check Levels, a complete set of levels from the first to the last bench mark on the job, turning through all existing bench marks, without adjusting H.I.’s or “correcting up” for any differences at individual benches. If the Check Levels are within third order accuracy, no additional check levels will need to be run. Third Order Accuracy requires the closure to be within 12.0 mm x square root of the distance in km (.05 feet x square root of the distance in miles). Chapter 4- Bench Checks
