Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, 228 North La Salle Street, Chicago, 111. 60601, has been awarded two new projects in the Middle East totaling $80,- 000,000, J.A. Downs, president, has announced.

A contract has been signed for $15,000,000 with the Arabian American Oil Company to dig an access channel at Ju-Aymah, Saudi Arabia, in conjunction with the multibillion-dollar national gas collection system being constructed by Aramco, he said.

In addition, the Chicago-based company has been working on construction of the new port of Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, since early 1977. The newly announced agreement increases the company's revenues in the Jebel Ali area approximately $65 million, Mr. Downs pointed out.
