摘要：	Houston-based Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company (GLDD) has partnered with Texas A&M University to renovate the school's dredging and coastal studies lab, which is part of the Department of Ocean Engineering. Now, following a $500,000 donation from GLDD, the facility will be formally called the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Laboratory for Dredging and Coastal Studies. With GLDD operating the largest dredge fleet in the United States and conducting extensive work in the Gulf Coast region each year, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock has long had a robust relationship with Texas A&M. The company's 2021 relocation to Houston only enhanced that connection. "We have had a long-term relationship with Texas A&M, particularly with the ocean engineering department," GLDD CEO Lasse Petterson said. "By establishing the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Laboratory for Dredging and Coastal Studies, we hope to grow the relationship for further research and introduction of the dredging and coastal industry to students." Petterson, a native of Norway, lived in Houston for more than 20 years prior to joining GLDD in 2017 and said he was already familiar with the type of students that graduate from Texas A&M's ocean engineering department.
