    In the event that performance goals are not achieved, the
    restricted shares are progressively subject to forfeiture.
    The market value of the outstanding restricted shares has
    been recorded as unearned stock grant compensation, a
    separate component of stockholders' equity.  The unearned
    compensation will be charged to general and administrative
    expense as the performance goals are met.  At March 31, 1995
    no such amounts have been charged.

    The company has options outstanding with respect to 741,604
    shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $6.55
    to $11.95 per share.  The right to exercise these options
    vests progressively over a four year period commencing with
    the date of issue and expiring ten years from the date of
    issue.  In addition, there are stock warrants outstanding
    for 387,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of
    $7.00 expiring in 1998.

7.  Net primary earnings per share of common and common stock
    equivalents are calculated using the weighted average number
    of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted shares
    for which performance goals have not been met, plus the net
    additional number of shares which would be issuable upon the
    exercise of stock options and warrants, assuming that the
    company used the proceeds received to repurchase outstanding
    shares at market prices.

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


Results of Operations  (all dollar amounts are in thousands
unless otherwise stated)


    Revenue:   The company's revenue of $90 million decreased by
30% in the first quarter of 1995 compared with $127 million in
the first quarter of 1994.  The reduction in revenue was
attributable to the completion of certain industrial construction
projects in 1994, while new contract awards in the fourth quarter
of 1994 and first quarter of 1995 (which together amount to $270
million), are not yet making a significant contribution to
revenue.  The backlog of uncompleted contracts amounted to
$424,883 at March 31, 1995, compared to $656,827 at March 31,
1994.  March 31, 1994 backlog included $293,000 relating to an
awarded but long-delayed industrial construction contract which
was subsequently removed from backlog at December 31, 1994.
Excluding the aforementioned contract, backlog at March 31, 1995
was 17% higher than in the comparable period of 1994.

    Gross margin:  The company's gross margin of $6,938
increased by 19% in the first quarter of 1995 over 1994's $5,849.
The percentage of gross margin to revenue in all of the company's
business units improved to a consolidated 7.7% versus 4.4% for
1994, which more than compensated for the reduced level of
revenue compared with the comparable period in 1994.



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

    General and administrative expense:   General and
administrative expense of $8,805 increased by 3% in 1995 compared
to $8,509 in 1994.  Reductions in corporate overhead expense
implemented in the fourth quarter of 1994 were offset by
increased marketing efforts for Asia and the Middle East as well
as the ongoing costs of implementation of the company's new
accounting and information system.

    Other income (expense):  Interest expense decreased to $201
in the first quarter of 1995, from $867 in the first quarter of
1994 primarily due to the company retiring all of its short-term
debt in the fourth quarter of 1994.  Miscellaneous income
amounted to $1,130 in the first quarter of 1995, compared with
$941 in the corresponding 1994 period.  Miscellaneous income was
principally from interest on short-term investments in 1995, and
in 1994 from foreign exchange gains and gains from asset
dispositions.

    Income taxes and net income:   The loss from continuing
operations before taxes and the cumulative effect of changes in
accounting was reduced to $938 in 1995, from $2,586 in 1994.
Income taxes gave rise to an expense of $49 in 1995 compared to a
benefit of $457 in 1994.  The 1995 income tax expense was
attributable to state and foreign income taxes and U.S. tax


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

losses for which no net tax benefit was available.  The 1994
income tax benefit was attributable to the allocation of taxes to
discontinued operations.

    In 1994 discontinued operations, net of income taxes,
provided income of $1,371, and the company's adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 resulted in
an accounting charge of $739.

    Net loss for the first quarter of 1995 was reduced to $987
from $1,497 in the corresponding period of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The company generated cash from operating activities in the
first quarter of 1995 totalling $11,171, versus $7,722 from
continuing operating activities in the comparable period in 1994.
In 1994, $9,076 of cash was used to fund the operating activities
of discontinued operations, while in 1995, there was a  special
dividend payment to common stockholders of $2.00 per share,
amounting to $17,835.  Including the effect of the dividend
payment, net cash flow was a negative $6,153 in 1995 compared
with a negative $340 in 1994.



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

    As of March 31, 1995, the company's short-term lines of
credit amounted to approximately $33,574.  The availability of
these lines of credit is reduced by any letters of credit
outstanding under the lines.  At March 31, 1995, the company had
no outstanding borrowings and $8,753 in outstanding letters of
credit.

    The company believes that its cash and short-term
investments, together with lines of credit and funds generated
from operations will be adequate to cover foreseeable future
requirements.














PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

    The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the company (the
"Annual Meeting") was held on April 19, 1995.  In addition to the
election of directors, shareholders were asked to vote on a
proposal to approve the Amendment and Restatement of the 1990
Executive Stock Plan.

    The first table below sets forth the total number of votes
for and withheld as to each of the eight candidates for director,
all of whom were elected at the Annual Meeting.

    The second table below sets forth the total number of votes
for and against and the abstentions and broker non-votes as to
the approval of the Amendment and Restatement of the 1990
Executive Stock Plan.  An affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares represented and entitled to vote was required for passage.
Abstentions, or shares represented by proxies marked "abstain,"
had the same effect as a vote against the proposal.  The failure
of a broker or other nominee to vote shares for a beneficial
owner had no effect on the proposal.  The proposal received an
affirmative vote of approximately 52% of the shares represented
and entitled to vote.
