ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
incorporated by reference into the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 (the "second quarter of
fiscal 1996") totaled $487.0 million; this was $90.3 million, or 22.8%, more
than the amount for the three months ended March 31, 1995 (the "second quarter
of fiscal 1995").  For the second quarter of fiscal 1996, revenues from
engineering services were 15.5% higher than the amount for the second quarter of
fiscal 1995.  The Company billed approximately 3.3 million professional services
hours to projects during the second quarter of fiscal 1996; this was 0.3 million
more hours than were billed during the corresponding period last year.  Revenues
from construction and maintenance services for the second quarter of fiscal 1996
were 26.4% higher as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Much of
this increase was due to higher subcontract and procurement activity.

For the six months ended March 31, 1996, revenues totaled $958.1 million; this
was $149.0 million, or 18.4%, more than the amount for the corresponding period
last year.  Revenues from engineering services for the six months ended March
31, 1996 were 11.8% higher than the amount for the corresponding period last
year.  The Company billed 6.5 million professional services hours to projects
during the six months ended March 31, 1996; this was 0.8 million more hours than
were billed during the corresponding period last year.  Revenues from
construction and maintenance services for the six months ended March 31, 1996
were 21.7% higher as compared to the corresponding period last year.  Much of
this increase was due to higher subcontract and procurement activity.

As a percent of revenues, direct costs of contracts were 89.2% for the second
quarter of fiscal 1996, as compared to 88.5% for the second quarter of fiscal
1995.  For the six months ended March 31, 1996, direct costs of contracts were
89.4% of revenues, as compared to 88.9% for the six months ended March 31, 1995.
The percentage relationship between direct costs of contracts and revenues will
fluctuate between reporting periods depending on a variety of factors including
the mix of business during the reporting periods being compared, as well as the
level of margins earned from the various services provided by the Company.  The
increases in this percentage relationship during the current year as compared to
the corresponding periods last year were due to a higher level of construction
and maintenance services relative to engineering services.

                                MARCH 31, 1996

Selling, general and administrative ("SG & A") expenses for the second quarter
of fiscal 1996 totaled $36.5 million; this was $2.8 million, or 8.2%, more than
the amount for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. For the six months ended March
31, 1996, SG & A expenses totaled $70.5 million; this was $5.0 million, or 7.6%,
more than the amount for the six months ended March 31, 1995. In general, these
increases were due primarily to higher levels of SG & A spending in support of
the increased level of business activity discussed above.

The Company's operating profit (defined as revenues, less costs of contracts and
SG & A expenses) was $16.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1996; this
was $4.1 million more than the amount for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.
For the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's operating profit totaled
$31.5 million; this was $7.4 million more than the amount for the six months
ended March 31, 1995.  These increases in operating profit were due to improved
margin rates on the Company's engineering services, the higher level of business
volume discussed above, and a lower level of overall SG & A spending relative
to the business volume.

Interest income, net totaled $0.3 million for the six months ended March 31,
1996; this was $0.4 million more than the amount for the six months ended March
31, 1995.  In general, the increase in net interest income was due primarily to
higher average cash balances on deposit during the current fiscal year as
compared to the corresponding period last year.

Other income, net totaled $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1996;
this was $0.3 million less than the amount for the second quarter of fiscal
1995.  The amount for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 included higher gains
from sales of investments as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $30.2 million during the six
months ended March 31, 1996.  This compares to a net decrease of $23.9 million
of cash and cash equivalents during the corresponding period last year.  The
current year increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to cash provided by
operations ($39.8 million) and financing activities ($23.5 million), offset in
part by cash used in investing activities ($33.0 million) and the effects of
exchange rate changes on cash ($0.1 million).

Operations contributed $39.8 million of cash and cash equivalents during the six
months ended March 31, 1996.  This compares to a net use of cash of $6.5 million
during the six months ended March 31, 1995.  The $46.3 million increase from
1995 to 1996 in cash provided by operations was due primarily to a $4.6 million
increase in net income, a $15.1 million increase in collections of customer
receivables, and a $31.8 million reduction in cash used to pay-down trade
payables and accrued liabilities.  Off-setting these items in part was a net
reduction in customer advances and other items totaling $5.2 million.

The Company's investing activities used $33.0 million of cash and cash
equivalents during the six months ended March 31, 1996.  This compares to a net
use of cash of $10.1 million during the six months ended March 31, 1995.  Most
of the variance was attributable to the Company's purchase of a 49% interest in
the engineering and construction operations of the Serete Group of France.  The
investment was completed effective January 31, 1996 and totaled $19.0 million,
exclusive of the related costs of the investment.  Also contributing to the
variance was a $4.8 million increase in additions, net of disposals, to property
and equipment.  Most of this variance was attributable to an increase in
purchases of computers and CAD stations and the related software for use in
those offices experiencing the increase in engineering services activity
discussed above.

Cash flows from financing activities generated $23.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents during the six months ended March 31, 1996.  This compares to a net
use of cash of $7.4 million during the six months ended March 31, 1995.  Most of
the variance was attributable to additional bank borrowings incurred in
connection with the Company's investment in the Serete Group discussed above.
Effective April 5, 1996, the Company amended its $45.0 million, long-term,
revolving credit agreement to allow multi-currency borrowings, as well as
extending the termination date of the agreement to August 31, 1997.  In
connection with this amendment, the Company also reduced the borrowing limit
under one of its short-term credit facilities.

The Company believes it has adequate capital resources to fund its operations
for the remainder of 1996 and beyond.  At March 31, 1996, the Company's short-
term committed credit facilities totaled $51.0 million, which includes the
effects of the reduction in borrowing limits to one of the credit facilities
discussed above.  These short-term facilities have been made available through
banks in the U.S. and the U.K., against which $17.4 million was utilized at
March 31, 1996, either through direct borrowings, or in the form of committed
letters of credit.
