Myzox CL-28 CL-36 Auto Level for Drainage and Pipe Leveling Malaysia
Myzox CL-28 CL-36 Auto Level for Drainage and Pipe Leveling Malaysia
Correct elevation and gradient control are important in drainage and pipe installation projects. When a drainage system depends on gravity flow, incorrect levels can contribute to poor flow, ponding or installation problems.
The Myzox CL-28 and CL-36 Auto Levels provide contractors and engineers with an optical method for transferring benchmarks and checking elevation differences during drainage, sewer, culvert and pipe installation work.
The Myzox CL-28 features 28X magnification and ±2.0 mm accuracy for 1 km double-run leveling, while the CL-36 provides 36X magnification and ±1.0 mm accuracy.

Why Is Leveling Important for Drainage Work?
Many drainage systems rely on gravity to move water from a higher elevation to a lower elevation.
This means contractors need to control both elevation and gradient during installation.
Leveling may be required for:
Open drains
Stormwater drains
Underground pipes
Sewer lines
Culverts
Manholes
Catch pits
Roadside drainage
Site drainage
Infrastructure projects
An automatic level can help establish and check elevation references at different locations along the drainage route.
How Is an Auto Level Used for Drainage Construction?
A typical process begins with an established benchmark.
The contractor can use the Myzox Auto Level and a leveling staff to transfer this known elevation to points along the proposed drainage alignment.
Measurements can then be used to check whether excavation, pipe invert or drain construction follows the required design elevations.
A simplified workflow may involve:
Establish or identify a known benchmark.
Set up the auto level on stable ground.
Take a backsight reading.
Determine the height of instrument.
Take staff readings at required drainage points.
Calculate the elevations.
Compare actual elevations with design levels.
Correct excavation or installation where necessary.
Actual construction procedures should follow the project's engineering drawings and specifications.
Checking Drainage Gradient
Gradient describes the change in elevation over a horizontal distance.
For example, if a drain must fall from one point to another, the required elevation difference can be calculated from the specified gradient and distance.
An auto level helps determine whether the actual elevations correspond with the required design levels.
This is useful when checking:
Drain invert levels
Pipe invert levels
Channel levels
Manhole levels
Culvert elevations
The instrument measures elevation differences; horizontal distance and design gradient must be established using the appropriate project information and measurement methods.

Sewer and utility projects
Auto Level for Pipe Invert Level
The invert level generally refers to the elevation of the lowest internal point of a pipe or drainage channel at a particular location.
Correct invert levels are important because they help determine whether a gravity drainage system follows the designed fall.
An auto level can assist site teams in transferring elevation references and checking points associated with pipe installation.
Contractors should always refer to the approved drawings for required invert elevations.
Auto Level for Manhole Construction
Manholes frequently provide important reference points within drainage and sewer systems.
During construction, elevation checks may be required for:
Manhole base
Incoming pipe invert
Outgoing pipe invert
Cover or top level
Connecting drains
The Myzox CL series can assist with transferring and checking these elevations against the project benchmark.
Auto Level for Culvert Installation
Culverts under roads and access routes require correct elevations to maintain the intended flow.
During culvert installation, an auto level can assist with checking:
Excavation elevation
Bedding elevation
Culvert inlet level
Culvert outlet level
Surrounding drainage connections
For road and infrastructure applications with larger working areas, the CL-36's higher magnification may be useful.
Common Mistakes During Drainage Leveling
Several field errors can affect results.
Staff Not Vertical
A tilted leveling staff can affect the observed reading.
Unstable Tripod
Tripod movement can alter the instrument position.
Wrong Benchmark
Using an incorrect benchmark elevation can cause all subsequent calculated elevations to be wrong.
Recording Error
A correctly observed reading can still produce an incorrect result if it is recorded incorrectly.
Confusing Design and Actual Levels
Always distinguish between the required design elevation and the actual measured elevation.
Instrument Accuracy Not Checked
If an auto level has been dropped, damaged or produces inconsistent measurements, it should be checked before critical work continues.
CL-28 or CL-36 for Drainage Contractors?
Choose the Myzox CL-28 when:
General construction drainage is the main application
Working distances are moderate
28X magnification is sufficient
±2.0 mm leveling specification meets the requirement
Consider the Myzox CL-36 when:
Larger civil engineering projects are involved
Longer observation distances are common
Higher 36X magnification is preferred
±1.0 mm leveling specification is required
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an auto level be used to set drainage gradient?
An auto level can be used to determine and transfer elevations along the drainage alignment. These elevations can then be compared with the required design gradient.
Can the Myzox CL-28 be used for pipe installation?
Yes. It can assist with elevation checking for general drainage and pipe installation work.
Is the CL-36 suitable for sewer projects?
Yes. Its 36X magnification and higher specified leveling accuracy make it an option for larger civil engineering and infrastructure projects.
Can an auto level measure invert level?
It can be used with a leveling staff and appropriate surveying procedures to determine elevations associated with pipe or drain invert points.
Which model is better for road drainage?
Both can be used depending on the project's requirements. The CL-36 may be preferable for larger sites or when higher magnification and specified accuracy are needed.
Why are accurate drainage levels important?
Incorrect elevations can affect the intended gradient of a gravity drainage system, so reliable elevation control is an important part of installation.
