BATON ROUGE, LA., Jun 14, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Shaw Group Inc. (NYSE:SGR) today announced that its subsidiary, Shaw Environmental, Inc., was one of three contractors selected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Tulsa District, for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide environmental services for projects within or assigned to the Corps' Southwestern Division.
