Orascom Construction Limited (NASDAQ Dubai: OC; EGX: ORAS) announces that it has added USD 520 million of new awards to its backlog in Q3 2018. Egypt accounted for approximately 60% of new awards while the U.S. represented the balance. Consolidated backlog as of 30 September 2018 stood at USD 4.1 billion.
