Acp" = O" 004<br />

AX" = 0"055<br />

Ah" = 0.23 m<br />

Conclusion<br />

The accuracy obtained on those thirty-five points by far exceeds the norms<br />

requested in the tender. Any application can start from one of those reference<br />

points.<br />

It is not clear yet whether the project will be extended to the north of the country.<br />

The state of the road network, the dense tropical forests and the probable<br />

tectonic movements in the lake area, are so many challenges that will have to be<br />

overcome.<br />
