control point the depth from the control point tothe trench bottom or pipe invert• by means of longer grade stakes, driven immediatelyadjacent to the control points, a continuousstring line is tied to the grade stakes ata specific distance above the trench bottom orpipe invert• after the surface control points are set, a cutsheet is prepared listing reference points, stationing,offset distance and vertical distancefrom the control points to the trench bottom orpipe invertFor narrow trenches a horizontal batter boardis spanned across the trench and adequately supportedat each end. The batter board is set levelat the same elevation as the string line and a naildriven in the upper edge at the centerline of thepipe. In many cases the batter board is used onlyas a spanning member with a short vertical boardnailed to it at the pipe centerline. A string line isthen pulled tight across a minimum of three batterboards and line transferred to the trench bottomby a plumb bob cord held against the string line.Grade is transferred to the trench bottom by meansof a grade rod or other suitable vertical measuringdevice.Where wide trenches are necessary, due tolarge pipe sizes or sloped trench walls, the batterboard may not be able the span the width of excavation.In such cases, the same transfer principle isused, except that the vertical grade rod is attachedto one end of the batter board and the other end setlevel against the offset string line. The length of thehorizontal batter board is the same as the offset distanceand the length of the vertical grade rod is thesame distance between the trench bottom or pipeAmerican Concrete Pipe Association • www.concrete-pipe.org 15
invert and the string line. Specially designed instrumentsare available which incorporate a measuringtape, extendable arm and leveling device. Theseinstruments are based on the same principle, buteliminate the need to construct batter boards andsupports and are portable.The transfer of surface control points to stakesalong the trench bottom is sometimes necessarybecause of the deep trenches or unstable soils requiringthe trench sides to be sloped back. Stakesshould be set along the trench bottom at 50 ft. (15m) intervals and a string line drawn between twoEXAMPLE BATTER BOARD SET-UPBatterBoardGradeStringGradeStakeGrade Rod RegisteringGrade of InvertGrade Rod RegisteringGrade of Trench16American Concrete Pipe Association • www.concrete-pipe.org
