The establishment of standards of measurement using geometric leveling for definition of high and inaccessible points

The altimetric geodesic structures are noteworthy for engineering projects. In this context, the technology of digital level can be used for the definition, by means of the geometric leveling method, of altimetric reference points. Another solution is the use of total station technology for determining inaccessible high points in the architectural structures, for example, structure targets of a building placed in towers of churches and builders of a geodesic structure through the trigonometric leveling method. The altimetric geodesic structures, established and determined by the geometric leveling method, materialize, in this work, of points for the establishment of standards of altimetric reference and determination of high and inaccessible points. The geodesic structures were established and determined, in Olinda´s Historical Site, by using digital level of high accuracy and invar rod with barcode. This work aims at defining altimetric reference standards using the geometric leveling method, resulting in the implementation and analysis of the quality of altimetric geodesic structures.
