                      INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
              REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 1998 RESULTS

              ---- Operating Results in Line With Expectations -
               Takes Special Charges Related to OHM Merger ----

           Contract Awards Build Backlog to Record Level $3.5 Billion

                   OHM Merger Closing Scheduled for Mid-June


Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania --- May 28, 1998 --- International Technology
Corporation (NYSE:ITX) ("IT" or the "Company") today reported financial results
for the fourth fiscal quarter and the year ended March 27, 1998.  Revenues for
the quarter were $136.0 million, an increase of 42% over the $95.7 million for
the prior year's fourth quarter.  Revenues for the fiscal year ended March 27,
1998 were $442.2 million, up 22% over the $362.1 million for the prior fiscal
year. Fiscal year 1998 includes the results of OHM Corporation ("OHM") since
February 25, 1998, the date on which IT acquired a 54% controlling interest.
Revenues related to OHM in the fourth quarter were $42.1 million.

Net income for the quarter ended March 27, 1998 (excluding special charges,
merger related expenses and the results of OHM) was $0.7 million, or $0.07 per
share, compared with a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.02) per share, for the
fourth quarter of the prior year.  Excluding special charges, merger related
expenses and the results of OHM, net income for the year ended March 27, 1998
was $1.8 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.3 million or
$(0.57) per share, for the prior fiscal year.  Net loss (including special
charges, merger related expenses and the results of OHM) for the fourth quarter
and fiscal year 1998 was $15.7 million, or $(1.62) per share, and $23.2 million,
or $(2.38) per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or
$(0.02) per share, and $13.7 million, or $(1.48) per share, for the comparable
periods of the prior year, respectively.

The merger related charges in the current quarter include $5.7 million of OHM
integration costs, primarily related to severance and office consolidations,
and $3.4 million of additional financing costs in connection with the tender
offer for OHM shares.  The quarter also includes a $5.7 million (net of tax), or
$(0.59) per share, charge related to the early extinguishment of IT's $65
million senior debt which was refinanced in connection with the OHM merger.  In
addition, as previously announced, the quarter includes a charge of $5.0 million
(net of tax), or $(0.51) per share, related to additional site closure costs
primarily related to the discontinued operations Panoche disposal facility.

OHM Integration Plan Substantially Complete

Anthony J. DeLuca, IT's chief executive officer and president, stated "The
integration of OHM is ahead of schedule and substantially complete.  We have
taken the actions necessary to ensure that we will achieve our $25 million
synergy target.  Our organization is stabilizing with increased focus on serving
clients and pursuing our markets."

Divestiture of Non-Core Assets

IT's Board of Directors considered and approved at it's May 27, 1998 meeting the
divestiture of certain non-core assets.  The  non-core assets primarily include
IT's 19% interest in Quanterra, Inc., an environmental laboratory business, and
the assets associated with IT's  thermal incineration business.  As a result of
this Board action, the Company anticipates recording a non-cash charge of
approximately $25 million in the quarter ending June 26, 1998.

Mr. DeLuca commented, "The divestiture of these non-core assets will allow
management to focus its full efforts on our core business growth and
diversification plan. The Company anticipates receiving cash proceeds of $7
million from the ultimate sale of these non-core assets which will provide
additional capital for our acquisition program."

Recent Project Wins Enhance Backlog to Record Level

Mr. DeLuca continued, "Since the announcement of the OHM merger on  January 15,
1998, we have been awarded strategically important contracts with a total value
in excess of $800 million which clearly reflect the confidence our clients have
in the expertise and abilities of the combined

                                       2

companies. Backlog at March 27, 1998 reached a new record high of $3.5 billion."

Diversification Plan Continues

Mr. DeLuca added, "IT continued to implement its diversification plan during the
quarter, announcing on January 21, 1998 completion of its acquisition of
Jellinek, Schwartz and Connolly, Inc., a company providing economically driven,
science-based environmental consulting and advocacy services and on February 27,
1998 the acquisition of Landbank, Inc., a real estate acquisition and
restoration company focusing on environmentally impaired properties."

Notes:

(a)  Represents the OHM integration costs primarily severance and office
     consolidations.

(b)  Special charges relate to (1) $2,811 of costs associated with the
     relocation of the Company's corporate headquarters (2) $1,800 from the sale
     of a small California based, remediation services business (3) $3,943 non-
     cash charge related to the Helen Kramer project claim settlement and (4)
     $5,694 of OHM integration costs.

(c)  Restructuring charge includes costs for severance, the closing of a number
     of the Company's office and related items.

(d)  Represents the cost related to the early extinguishment of the Company's
     $65,000 senior subordinated debt refinanced in connection with the OHM
     merger.

(e)  Represents estimated additional closure costs primarily related to the
     Panoche disposal facility.

(f)  Preferred stock dividend includes an imputed non-cash dividend of $659 for
     the quarter and $2,572 for the twelve-month period related to the Carlyle
     preferred stock.

(g)  Under SFAS No 128, net income (loss) per common share is computed by
     dividing net income (loss), adjusted for preferred stock dividends, by the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For
     all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per
     share, assuming conversion into common shares of the Company's convertible
     preferred stock, common stock warrants, contingently issuable shares and
     common stock equivalents, which are stock options, is antidilutive. The
     adoption of SFAS No. 128 had no effect on the net income (loss) and diluted
     earnings (loss) per common share for the periods presented.
