consideration and the geotextile containers to be used largely corresponds with the
situation and units used during the building of the Kandia dam, then use of this
formula is recommended to approximate the placement accuracy.
The second formula is derived from the drop of stones. Theoretically, this should
correspond to the placing accuracy during the drop of geotextile containers. Since
only a single type of geotextile container is almost always dropped at one location,
it is not possible to check this authenticity of this formula with practice. The second
formula is therefore only recommended for use when determining the scope of situa-
tions that deviate in relation to the first formula.
It should be noted that the calculated placement accuracies are only estimates and
must not be considered actual. They are purely indicative. In practice, measurements
must always be taken to establish the placement accuracy in any installation.
