Where are bench mark notes typically found?

Benchmark notes are typically found in profile views because these views provide a vertical representation of the terrain along a specific line, such as a roadway or pipeline. Profiles show changes in elevation and are essential for understanding the grading and drainage design of the project. Benchmarks, which are established reference points used to measure elevation, need to be indicated in profile views to allow engineers and surveyors to assess vertical alignments, slopes, and other critical features in relation to those reference elevations.

In contrast, elevation sheets focus more on horizontal aspects of a structure and may not extensively detail vertical measurements like benchmarks. Section views illustrate a slice through an object or terrain and typically communicate information about horizontal and vertical relationships but do so without the ongoing elevation context that profile views provide. Detail views usually zoom in on specific parts of a design or construction drawing to show further information or intricate features, rather than focusing on elevation changes and benchmarks. Thus, the profile view is the most appropriate place for benchmark notes.
