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 December 31, 1996 (the "first quarter of
1997") were $433.6 million; this was $37.5 million less than the amount for the
three months ended December 31, 1995 (the "first quarter of 1996").  This
decline in revenues was due to lower construction activity, and reflects the
completion and/or winding-down of several large projects during fiscal 1996.
Revenues from engineering services for the first quarter of 1997 were up
slightly as compared to last year.

As a percent of revenues, direct costs of contracts were 87.7% for the first
quarter of 1997, as compared to 89.5% for the first quarter of 1996.  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
improvement in this percentage relationship during the current quarter as
compared to the corresponding period last year was due to a proportionately
higher level of the Company's overall business volume coming from engineering
services relative to construction and maintenance services.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG & A") expenses for the first quarter of
1997 totaled $36.5 million; this was $2.5 million more than the amount for the
first quarter of 1996.  The increase in S,G & A expenses was due primarily to an
increase in sales and marketing expenses.

The Company's operating profit (defined as revenues, less costs of contracts and
SG & A expenses) was $17.0 million for the first quarter of 1997; this was $1.7
million more than the amount for the first quarter of 1996.  The increase in
operating profit was due primarily to the higher level of engineering services
activity discussed above, combined with improved margin rates for all of the
Company's services.

Interest income, net totaled $0.7 million for the first quarter of 1997; this
was $0.4 million more than the amount for the first quarter of 1996.  The
increase was due to higher average cash balances kept on deposit during the
first quarter of 1997 as compared to the corresponding period last year.

Backlog Information
- -------------------

The following table summarizes the Company's backlog at December 31, 1996 and
1995 (in millions):

<S>                                 <C>        <C>
  Engineering services backlog      $  852.0   $  841.0
  Total backlog                      2,847.0    2,663.0
</TABLE>

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

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $16.9 million during the three
months ended December 31, 1996.  This compares to a net increase of $20.4
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 and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash ($22.3 million in
total), offset in part by cash used in investing activities ($4.4 million) and
financing activities ($1.0 million).

Operations contributed $22.0 million of cash and cash equivalents during the
three months ended December 31, 1996.  This compares to net contributions of
cash of $28.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 1995.  The $6.2
million decrease in cash provided by operations in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to the corresponding period last year occurred in spite of a $1.3
million increase in net income, and was due primarily to the timing of cash
receipts and payments relating to the Company's trade receivables, payables and
accrued liabilities.

The Company's investing activities used $4.4 million of cash and cash
equivalents during the three months ended December 31, 1996. This compares to a
net use of cash of $7.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 1995.
Most of the variance was due to a $3.0 million increase in 1997 in cash provided
from sales of marketable securities.

Cash flows from financing activities used $1.0 million in cash and cash
equivalents during the three months ended December 31, 1996.  This compares to a
net use of cash of $0.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 1995.
The variance was due primarily to an increase in treasury stock purchases,
offset in part by higher short-term bank borrowings, net of repayments.

The Company believes it has adequate capital resources to fund its operations
for the remainder of 1997 and beyond.  At December 31, 1996, the Company's
short-term committed credit facilities totaled $51.7 million through banks in
the U.S. and the U.K., against which $1.5 million was outstanding in the form of
direct borrowings (relating entirely to the Company's U.K. subsidiary), and
another $1.5 million was utilized in support of outstanding letters of credit.
