Le nivellement est la mesure des différences de hauteur entre deux ou plusieurs points. Le nivellement sert à définir le relief d'un terrain, en fixant l'altitude d'un certain nombre de points (...) Des repères métalliques (...) matérialisent d'une façon précise le point exact dont l'altitude a été mesurée. Cette altitude est parfois indiquée sur le repère lui-même. La position de tous ces repères de nivellement, ainsi que l'altitude à laquelle ils se situent, est reportée sur les plans topographiques et sur certains plans cadastraux. 6, record 1, French, - rep%C3%A8re%20de%20nivellement
