                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

Note A.  Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1998.  The December 31, 1997 Consolidated Statement of
Financial Condition was derived from audited financial statements.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" (SFAS No. 130), is effective January 1, 1998.  This Statement
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components.  Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in
stockholders' equity except those resulting from investments and distributions
to owners.  The Company has had no reportable transactions under the provisions
of SFAS No. 130 for the periods reported.

Software Costs

Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use"  (SOP 98-1) requires the capitalization
of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software
for internal use.  Qualifying software costs are capitalized and amortized over
the estimated useful life of the software.  Prior to the adoption of SOP 98-1,
software costs were expensed as incurred.  Restatement of prior-year financial
statements was not required.  The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material
impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.

Segment Disclosure

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131), establishes new
standards for reporting information about operating segments in interim and
annual financial statements.  This statement is effective for 1998.  Management
does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a significant
effect on the Company's reported segments.

Item 1.  Financial Statements (Continued)

Note C.  Costs and Estimated Profits on Uncompleted Contracts

Included in costs and estimated profits in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts was approximately $6.5 million at March 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997, relating to an unapproved change order arising from a dispute over design
and specification changes.

On May 14, 1996, the Company filed an action in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) captioned PITT-DES
MOINES, INC. V. METROPOLITAN PIER & EXPOSITION AUTHORITY ET AL. seeking
reimbursement in excess of $15.0 million for additional work and making other
claims in connection with an unapproved change order arising from a dispute over
design and specification changes to a project under construction.  On June 4,
1996, certain of the defendants in said action made counterclaims against the
Company in amounts approximating $3.5 million.  While counsel believes that the
Company has a basis for the claim, neither management nor counsel is able to
predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of this matter.  As additional
information becomes available, the Company may revise its estimate of potential
recovery, which could result in a material adjustment to the results of
operations in future periods.

Note D.  Contingencies

As previously reported, on November 3, 1993, an accident occurred at the
construction site of a new United States Post Office in Chicago where the
Company was in the process of erecting the steel structure of the building.  Two
men were killed and five seriously injured when a portion of the erected steel
collapsed.  Various personal injury claims had been asserted against the
Company, and others, as a result of the accident (the "Personal Injury Cases").
As of December 31, 1996, the Company's insurance carriers have settled all of
the claims against the Company in the Personal Injury Cases in which the Company
was a defendant without the Company incurring any additional cost.

An investigation of the November 3, 1993 accident was conducted by the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Justice Department
as required by OSHA law. OSHA has cited the Company for safety violations and
has assessed $147,000 in civil penalties. In an order dated April 28, 1995, an
administrative law judge dismissed OSHA's case assessing civil penalties.  OSHA
appealed that dismissal and in an order dated March 24, 1997, the Occupational
Safety and Health Review Commission reversed the dismissal and entered an order
staying any further proceedings pending final disposition of the OSHA Criminal
Proceeding.

As a result of the OSHA/Justice Department investigation, on August 23, 1996,
the Company was served with an indictment issued by a grand jury for the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "OSHA Criminal
Proceeding").  On July 31, 1997, in the OSHA Criminal Proceeding, a jury
returned a verdict of guilty against the Company for two counts of misdemeanor
violations of OSHA regulations resulting in the deaths of two men killed in the
accident.  A sentencing hearing was held on March 20, 1998 in the OSHA Criminal
Proceeding and the Company was fined $1,000,250 and the fine was paid on March
27, 1998.  The Company filed an appeal on March 20, 1998, with the United States
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit seeking various forms of relief (Pitt-
Des Moines, Inc. v. United States of America No. 98-1767).

Item 1.  Financial Statements (Continued)

Note D.  Contingencies (Continued)

Management and counsel believe that the Company has significant and meritorious
points for sustaining the Company's appeal in the OSHA Criminal Proceeding.

As a result of the Justice Department's actions, other claims, actions, or
proceedings may be instituted against the Company.  The Company cannot predict
the likelihood of such a claim, action or proceeding being instituted against
it, and cannot assess the availability of any insurance coverage or the
possibility or materiality of an adverse result in the event of any such claim,
action or proceeding in advance of a claim, action or proceeding being
instituted.

On June 20, 1996 the Company was served with a subpoena to appear and produce
documents before a grand jury of the United States District Court for the
Western District of Wisconsin in connection with the United States Department of
Justice Antitrust Division's investigation of bid rigging and other criminal
violations in the steel bridge fabrication industry.  The Company has been
informed that it is not the target of the investigation at present but that it
and other companies in the steel bridge fabrication industry are the subjects of
the investigation.

While the investigation remains pending, the Company does not believe it will
become a target of the investigation or that a criminal action will be
instituted against it in these matters.  If the Company becomes a target or a
criminal investigation were instituted, the Company believes that it would have
significant and meritorious defenses to any such charges and would vigorously
defend against them.

There are various claims and legal proceedings against the Company arising from
the normal course of business.  Although counsel is unable to predict with
certainty the ultimate outcome, management and counsel believe the Company has
significant and meritorious defenses to any claims, and intend to pursue them
vigorously.

The Company's operations, including idle facilities and other property, are
subject to and affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations
regarding the protection of the environment.  The Company accrues for
environmental costs where such obligations are either known or considered
probable and can be reasonably estimated.

The Company is participating as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at three
different sites pursuant to proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).  Other parties have also been
identified as PRP's at the sites.  Investigative and/or remedial activities are
ongoing.  The Company believes, based upon information presently available to
it, that such future costs will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.  Additionally, amounts
reflected in results of operations and in the statements of financial condition
during the three years ended December 31, 1997 and during the three months ended
March 31, 1998, have also not been material.  However, the imposition of more
stringent requirements under environmental laws or regulations, new developments
or changes regarding site cleanup costs or the allocation of such costs among
PRP's or a determination that the Company is potentially responsible for the
release of hazardous substances at sites other than those currently identified,
could result in additional costs.

Item 1.  Financial Statements (Continued)

Note D.  Contingencies (Continued)

Management believes that the ultimate outcome of any matter currently pending
against the Company will not materially affect the financial position of the
Company although they could be material to the reported results of operations
for the period in which they occur.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
as to the outcome of various claims and legal proceedings.  Actual results may
differ with respect to such claims and proceedings as a result of factors over
which the Company does not have any control, including, but not limited to, new
developments, changes in the laws or regulations and the positions taken by the
opposing parties, the courts or the finders of fact.

Note E.  Common Stock Split

On May 7, 1998, the Company declared a two for one stock split effective in the
form of a stock dividend payable June 26, 1998 to stockholders of record at the
close of business on June 12, 1998.  Per share amounts, market prices, number of
shares and stock option amounts have been adjusted for the stock split for all
periods presented.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 3,
1997.

The Company reported net income of $4.2 million, or $0.58 per share, on earned
revenue of $123.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  These results
compare with net income of $2.1 million, or $.30 per share, on earned revenue of
$109.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION

The Engineering and Construction segment reported an 11.6 percent increase in
earned revenue from $68.1 million to $76 million for the first quarter of 1998.
Income from operations increased $4.3 million from $1.8 million a year ago to
$6.1 million for the current quarter.  Performance of contracts related to
Liquid and Cryogenic Storage, Water Storage, and Steel Bridges accounted for the
majority of the increases in both earned revenue and income from operations.
Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expense as a percentage of earned
revenue was approximately 8 percent for both three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997.  New awards of $89.2 million and $93.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, resulted in a backlog of $264.9 million
at March 31, 1998.  As indicated in "Costs and Estimated profits on Uncompleted
Contracts" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in costs and
estimated profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at March 31,
1998 was approximately $6.5 million relating to an unapproved change order
arising from a dispute over design and specification changes.

STEEL DISTRIBUTION

Steel Distribution reported earned revenue of $47.4 million, a 14 percent
increase from $41.5 million in earned revenue for the three months ended March
31, 1997.  Income from operations increased 6.8 percent to $3.5 million for the
current quarter from $3.3 million for the same period in 1997.  General Steel
Corporation, an acquisition made during the first quarter of 1997, made a
significant contribution to the increase realized in income from operations.
Additionally, all of the Steel Distribution operations contributed to the
improvements realized in earned revenue during the first quarter of 1998 when
compared with the same period in 1997.  S,G&A expense as a percentage of earned
revenue dropped slightly to 7.4 percent from 7.8 percent for the period ended
March 31, 1997.

OTHER

As indicated in the "Contingencies" section of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company's future results of operations could be
materially adversely affected by the Company's conviction on July 31, 1997 of
two misdemeanors for violations of the Occupational Safety Health Act (and
regulations promulgated thereunder)(see Note D "Contingencies" Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company initiated a review of its software systems in 1997 in view of the
fact that certain systems will not properly recognize dates after the year 1999,
which could cause those systems to produce invalid results.  This is commonly
referred to as "the Year 2000 problem."  The Company has substantially completed
the assessment phase of all major systems and, in some cases, has made the
required changes.  Based upon the results of the work done to date, the Company
believes that the remaining work will be completed in a timely manner and that
the overall cost of such work will not be material.  The Company expenses such
costs when incurred. There can be no assurance, however, that further analysis 
of the Company's systems, customers and outside vendors will not identify
additional issues which could change the Company's present assessment of the
cost of addressing this issue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's primary sources of
liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and proceeds from the revolving credit
facility which were used for investing activities and to fund the growth in
working capital.  Working capital increased $11.9 million from $86.2 million on
December 31, 1997 to $98.1 million currently.  On March 31, 1998, cash and cash
equivalents were $11.1 million compared with $12 million on December 31, 1997.

Net cash utilized by operating activities of $7.3 million decreased by $4.6
million when compared with the same period in 1997.  Changes in operating assets
and liabilities, primarily accounts payable and costs, estimated profits and
billings (net), accounted for the decrease in net cash outflows.  The changes in
operating assets and liabilities from period to period are affected by the mix,
stage of completion and commercial terms of contracts.

Net cash utilized by investing activities of $3 million for the period ended
March 31, 1998 was primarily for capital expenditures.  These expenditures
consisted primarily of plant machinery and equipment and construction on the new
structural steel fabricating facility in Eloy, Arizona.

This facility began operating in April 1998.  Cash utilized by investing
activities of $7.3 million during the first quarter of 1997 was primarily for
the acquisition of General Steel Corporation.  The Company intends to continue
to evaluate and selectively pursue opportunities for growth or expansion of its
business through investment in or acquisition of complementary businesses.  The
Company expects that any such acquisitions will be financed from cash on hand or
available funds under the Company's revolving credit facility.

Cash provided by financing activities was primarily from proceeds from the
revolving credit facility.  The Company paid cash dividends of $1.1 million
($0.15 per share) during the period ended March 31, 1998.  Cash dividends of
$958,000 ($0.138 per share) were paid during the same period in 1997.  On May 7,
1998 the board of directors declared a two for one stock split in the form of a
stock dividend distributable on June 26, 1998 to shareholders of record June 12,
1998.  The board also declared a quarterly dividend of $.15 per share on all
shares, including those issued as a result of the split of common stock, payable
June 26, 1998 to shareholders of record on June 12, 1998.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

The Company has on hand and access to sufficient sources of funds to meet its
anticipated operating, expansion and capital needs.  These sources include cash
on hand and the unused portion of a $40.0 million unsecured revolving credit
facility which matures December 31, 1999. This facility contains an annual
option to renew for an additional one-year period, subject to lender approval.
On May 11, 1998, $23.5 million of borrowings and $7.8 million of stand-by
letters of credit were outstanding under this credit facility.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Any of the comments in this quarterly report that refer to the Company's
estimated or future results, margins on existing or future projects, long-term
profitability and demand and growth trends for Pitt-Des Moines, Inc., are
forward-looking and reflect the Company's current analysis of existing trends
and information.  Actual results may differ materially from current expectations
or projections based on a number of factors affecting the Company's businesses.
The Company's estimates of future performance depend on, among other things, the
likelihood of receiving certain new awards.  While these estimates are based on
the good faith judgment of management, these estimates frequently change based
on new facts which become available.  In addition, the timing of receipt of
revenue by the Company from engineering and construction projects can be
affected by a number of factors outside the control of the Company.  The
Company's businesses are also subject to fluctuations in demand and to changing
global economic and political conditions which are beyond the control of the
Company and may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking
statements contained in this annual report.

These forward-looking statements represent the Company's judgment only as of the
date of this quarterly report.  As a result, the reader is cautioned not to rely
on these forward-looking statements.  The Company disclaims any intent or
obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
