There are many construction projects that need to be built on regular, level ground, free of slopes or unevenness. In order to prevent the problem of unevenness and to ensure that the ground is optimal for the intended use of an area, levelling of agricultural land is applied.
Laser leveling requires soil to be shifted from the high points of the field to the low points in the most cost–effective way. In most situations fields will need to be plowed and a topographic survey undertaken before leveling commences.
