Washington Group International, Inc.
 PROFILE
Washington Group International is one of the largest US construction and engineering firms. It provides design and construction services for projects such as bridges, highways, manufacturing plants, mining, nuclear facilities, pipelines, power facilities, and railroads; it also operates mines and provides environmental management services. The former Morrison Knudsen doubled in size with the acquisition of Raytheon's engineering and construction unit in 2000; the combined company changed its name to Washington Group International that year. But problems with contracts acquired in the Raytheon deal have hurt the company, and it has filed for bankruptcy protection. Chairman Dennis Washington owns a 39% stake.
