It PRP

to TO
say VB
the DT
least JJS
. .

We PRP
needed VBD
no RB
less JJR
than IN
33,600 CD
tonnes NNS
of IN
stones NNS
for IN
two CD
projects NNS
, ,
that DT
is VBZ
the DT
equivalent NN
of IN
at IN
least JJS
800 CD
fully RB
loaded JJ
trucks NNS
. .

As IN
loading VBG
the DT
vessel NN
in IN
Singapore NNP
had VBD
n't RB
been VBN
possible JJ
, ,
the DT
ship NN
had VBD
to TO
make VB
a DT
detour NN
via IN
Dubai NNP
. .

There RB
, ,
a DT
real JJ
downpour NN
descended VBD
on IN
us PRP
- :
whereas IN
it PRP
only RB
rains VBZ
there RB
2 CD
or CC
3 CD
days NNS
per IN
year NN
. .

The DT
whole JJ
stone NN
quarry NN
was VBD
flooded JJ
, ,
the DT
storm NN
was VBD
so RB
intense JJ
that IN
we PRP
could MD
n't RB
return VB
with IN
the DT
ship NN
from IN
the DT
stone NN
quarry NN
to TO
the DT
shore NN
. .

It PRP
was VBD
nerve-wrecking JJ
, ,
for IN
we PRP
knew VBD
that IN
the DT
stones NNS
had VBD
to TO
be VB
available JJ
soon RB
. .

Luckily RB
we PRP
made VBN
it PRP
: :
we PRP
were VBD
able JJ
to TO
fully RB
load VB
the DT
ship NN
in IN
the DT
preset VBN
four CD
days NNS
. .

On IN
our PRP$
way NN
to TO
Australia NNP
, ,
everyone NN
of IN
course NN
was VBD
very RB
eager JJ
to TO
start VB
working VBG
. .

For IN
the DT
crossing NN
, ,
strict JJ
tolerances NNS
applied VBD
: :
we PRP
would MD
have VB
to TO
remove VB
all DT
stones NNS
that WDT
we PRP
had VBD
dumped VBN
on IN
top NN
of IN
the DT
mapped VBN
out RP
line NN
. .

In IN
the DT
end NN
, ,
we PRP
were VBD
able JJ
to TO
work VB
very RB
precisely RB
. .

The DT
stones NNS
were VBD
on IN
average JJ
15 CD
cm NN
thick JJ
and CC
still RB
we PRP
achieved VBD
an DT
average JJ
accuracy NN
of IN
5 CD
cm NN
. .

Not RB
many JJ
will MD
match VB
that DT
! .

Afterwards RB
, ,
with IN
our PRP$
ROV NN
we PRP
made VBD
a DT
video NN
about IN
the DT
works NNS
under IN
water NN
for IN
our PRP$
clients NNS
. .

For IN
me PRP
, ,
it PRP
was VBD
great JJ
to TO
look VB
at IN
my PRP$
work NN
with IN
my PRP$
own JJ
eyes NNS
. .

Most JJS
clients NNS
are VBP
usually RB
very RB
sparing JJ
with IN
compliments NNS
, ,
but CC
this DT
client NN
sent VBD
us PRP
a DT
letter NN
to TO
congratulate VB
us PRP
on IN
the DT
successful JJ
project NN
. .

That DT
to TO
me PRP
is VBZ
the DT
best JJS
possible JJ
evidence NN
: :
the DT
' ``
Simon NNP
Stevin NNP
' ''
is VBZ
number NN
one CD
and CC
absolutely RB
worthy JJ
of IN
it PRP
