The construction of Pier 400 in Los Angeles Harbor stretched over five and a half years. The 593-acre terminal is now the largest proprietary container terminal in the world, with a total berthing length of 7,190 feet (1.4 miles). Pier 400 will earn the Port of Los Angeles approximately $2,000,000,000 over the next 25 years.

• Dredging: 52,500,000 cubic yards by cutter suction, clamshell and trailing suction hopper dredge
• Rock Placement: 9,000,000 tons of quarry run rock
• Rock Armor Placement: 1,600,000 tons

The road/rail Øresund Fixed Link joins Sweden and Denmark via a 4-km tunnel, a 4-km artificial island (Peberholm), and an 8-km cable-stayed bridge. The dredging and reclamation contract involved design, dredging and construction of the tunnel trench, work harbors, navigation and construction channels, compensation areas, and an artificial peninsula and island. GLDD participated as a member of the Øresund Marine Joint Venture. The project entailed:

• Dredging: 10,500,000 yd³ (8,000,000 m³)
• Stone Works: 2,200,000 tons (2,000,000 m tons)
• Fill, Island: 11,100,000 yd³ (8,500,000 m³)
• Fill, Peninsula: 3,900,000 yd³ (3,000,000 m³)
• 544-acre (220-hectare) dike-lined landfill
• Construction of 39,400 ft (12 km) of perimeter rock revetments for the reclamation area
  

This project involved the deepening and widening of the entrance channel to the Port of Doha, the construction of a container terminal site, and bund construction for the future development of a new international airport.

• Channel Excavation: 16 km in length, 165 m wide, 11 m deep
• Material placement: Caprock, bedrock limestone, gravel, sand and silt material 10,000,000 cubic meters; 4,000,000 cubic meters of reclamation material
  
• Rock Armor Placement: 1,000,000 tons

The project was designed to transform a low-lying swamp area into a luxury residential lagoon development accommodating hundreds of housing lots, a hotel, conference center, sports and recreational facilities with extensive public beach access, marina facilities and protective breakwater structures. The offshore work was performed with the cutter suction dredge Illinois.

The total contract entailed dredging 31,000,000 cubic yards of material to be used for building land for the new port, the placement of 4,000,000 tons of rock protection and breakwater structures, and construction of a 1.1-mile-long quaywall. Great Lakes used the cutter suction dredge Carolina and the trailing suction hopper dredge Victoria Island to complete the works.
