SHAW AWARDED TASK ORDERS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT AT
U.S. NAVY INSTALLATIONS

The Shaw Group Inc. (NYSE: SGR) today announced Atlantic Contingency
Constructors, LLC (ACC) has been awarded four task orders under a U.S. Navy
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for global contingency
construction awarded in 2006. ACC is a joint venture between Shaw`s
Environmental & Infrastructure Group and AECOM Government Services, Inc. The
work performed under the task orders will be for the improvement, design and
construction of sustainable energy systems at Navy installations in the District
of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Mississippi and Texas.

The task orders, totaling up to $100 million, are funded through the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This amount was previously included in
the company`s backlog of unfilled orders.

ACC will perform building and lighting efficiency surveys to optimize the
performance of various photovoltaic (PV) systems that will be designed and
constructed as part of these task orders. The systems may include rooftop- ,
carport- and ground-mounted systems, as well as solar ventilation preheat and
other solar energy systems.

"Federal government agencies continually are moving toward using renewable
energy to power their operations and need solutions that address the challenge
of fulfilling energy demand with cost-effective solutions and minimal
environmental impact," said George Bevan, president of Shaw`s Environmental &
Infrastructure Group. "Shaw`s expertise in design and construction will help the
U.S. Navy achieve a more sustainable, cost-effective energy system to meet their
current and future needs."
