                         PART I

Item 1.    Business
          -----------

Michael Baker Corporation ("Baker" or "the Registrant") was founded in 1940
and organized as a Pennsylvania corporation in 1946.  Today, through its 
operating subsidiaries and joint ventures, Baker provides engineering, 
construction, and operations and technical services worldwide.  Effective
January 1, 1995, the Registrant reorganized into five market-focused business
units (segments)--Buildings, Civil, Energy, Environmental and Transportation--
from its former three operating groups (Engineering, Construction, and
Operations & Maintenance).

Information regarding the amounts of revenue, operating profit and identifiable
assets attributable to the Registrant's newly restated industry segments is 
contained in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, which are 
included within Exhibit 13.1 to this Form 10-K.  Such information is 
incorporated herein by reference.  

According to the annual listings published in 1995 by ENGINEERING NEWS RECORD
magazine, Baker ranks 46th among U.S. design firms, 12th among transportation
design firms, 81st among global design firms, 93rd among U.S. construction
contractors, 190th among international construction contractors and 64th among
U.S. construction management at-risk firms.  In addition, according to an
annual listing published in 1995 by GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE magazine, Baker ranks
152nd among government contractors.  The rankings were based on 1994 revenues,
except for the government contractor ranking which was based on 1994 contract
awards.

           Business Units
           ----------------

BUILDINGS.  The Buildings unit consolidated the former Construction Group's
general construction, construction management and design-build division with 
the former Engineering Group's facility planning and design unit to pursue the
growing design-build market.  The following are the principal services provided
by the Buildings unit:
           o  Architecture
           o  Engineering
           o  Planning
           o  Construction management and consulting
           o  Design-build
           o  General construction

CIVIL.   The Civil unit combined the Registrant's civil engineering and water
resources division with its military operations & maintenance service division,
Baker Support Services, Inc. ("BSSI").  This unit has consolidated Baker's
military infrastructure work in planning and operations & maintenance, to
improve its ability to market to, and serve, the U.S. Department of Defense,
a major Baker client.  The following list comprises the primary services 
provided by the Civil unit:
          o Engineering, planning, design and program management
          o Geographic information systems
          o Photogrammetric mapping
          o Waste/wastewater systems development
          o Water resources management
          o Military facilities planning and program management
          o Military base operations support<PAGE>
          o Fiber-optic cable engineering  
          o Design-build-operate   

ENERGY.   The Energy unit comprises Baker/MO Services, Inc. ("Baker/MO") and
Baker/OTS, Inc. ("Baker/OTS").  This unit focuses on providing operations &
maintenance and technical services within the domestic and international energy
industry.  Baker/MO provides specialized services to the oil and gas, utility,
and petrochemical industries, while Baker/OTS provides operations and technical
services to major international oil and gas producers.  The major services 
provided by the Energy unit are as follows:
          o Facility operations and maintenance
          o Operations analysis
          o Equipment maintenance and overhaul
          o Training programs
          o Pipeline development and design
          o Technical consulting and personnel
          o Engineering and construction management
          o Design-build-operate oil & gas facilities

ENVIRONMENTAL.   The Environmental unit continues to operate in its pre-1995
form, but became a separate business unit in 1995.  The principal services 
provided by the Environmental unit include:
          o Site characterization
          o Remediation design and construction management
          o Air quality management
          o Process safety management
          o Human health/ecological risk assessment
          o Occupational health and safety compliance
          o Environmental regulation compliance, audits and permitting
          o Groundwater/wastewater treatment
          o Facility design-build-operate

TRANSPORTATION.   The Transportation unit merged the engineering capabilities
in highways, bridges, transit, aviation and rail, with the heavy and highway
construction capabilities of the former Construction Group.  This merger has
enhanced the Registrant's existing capabilities to serve transportation 
clients, created a strong construction management team, and positioned Baker
to serve the evolving design-build and privatization markets.  The major 
services provided by the Transportation unit are the following:
          o Planning
          o Design
          o Construction
          o Construction management and inspection
          o Program management for surface and air transportation
          o Design-build-operate

           Domestic and Foreign Operations
           -------------------------------

Approximately 95% of the Registrant's total contract revenues are derived from
work performed within the United States.  Of those domestic-based revenues, the
majority comprises engineering and construction work performed in the Northeast
region of the U.S.  The Registrant's international-based revenues are derived
primarily from Baker/OTS and relate to operations and technical services
performed outside the U.S.  Baker/OTS provides the majority of its services in
the Middle East and Africa.
<PAGE>
           Funded and Unfunded Backlog
           ---------------------------

The Registrant's funded backlog, which comprises that portion of uncompleted
work represented by signed contracts and for which the procuring agency has
appropriated and allocated the funds to pay for the work, was $300 million at
December 31, 1995 vs. $283 million at December 31, 1994.  Total backlog, which
incrementally includes that portion of contract value for which options are
still to be exercised (unfunded backlog), was $508 million at December 31,
1995 vs. $468 million at December 31, 1994.

There is not necessarily a correlation between the foregoing figures and the
Registrant's annual total contract revenues.  In the case of multi-year 
contracts, total contract revenues are spread over several years and 
correspond to the timing of the contract rather than the Registrant's fiscal
year.  Many multi-year contracts, particularly with agencies of the U.S.
government, provide for optional renewals on the part of the customer.  The
Registrant's experience has been that these optional contract renewals have
generally been exercised.  Funded backlog generally is highest during the last
quarter of each of the Registrant's fiscal years because that corresponds to
the first quarter of the U.S. government's fiscal year, which is when many such
government contract renewals occur.  

           Customers
           ---------  

No individual contract accounted for more than 10% of the Registrant's total
contract revenues in 1995, 1994 or 1993; however, several contracts with the
State of Illinois provided 10.5% and 13.5% of the Registrant's total contract
revenues in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Several contracts with the U.S.
Department of Navy also provided 10.9%, 12.1% and 10.9% of the Registrant's
1995, 1994 and 1993 total contract revenues, respectively.

           Competitive Conditions
           ----------------------

The Registrant's business is highly competitive with respect to all principal
services it offers.  Baker competes with numerous firms which provide some or
all of the services provided by the Registrant.  The competitive conditions
in the Registrant's businesses relate to the nature of the contracts being
pursued.  Public-sector contracts, consisting mostly of contracts with federal
and state governmental entities, are generally awarded through a competitive
bidding process, subject to the contractors' qualifications, licensure and
demonstrated abilities.  The Baker business units employ extensive cost
estimating, scheduling and other computerized techniques for the preparation 
of these competitive bids.  Private-sector contractors compete on the bases
of qualifications and licensure, quality of performance, price of services and
other related factors.  Such private-sector contracts are generally awarded on
a negotiated basis.

The Registrant believes that the principal competitive factors (in various
orders of importance) in the areas of services it offers are quality of
service, reputation, experience, technical proficiency and cost of service.  
The Registrant believes that it is well positioned to compete effectively by 
emphasizing its full range of professional services.
<PAGE>
           Seasonality
           -----------

Based upon the Registrant's experience, total contract revenues and net income
during the first and fourth quarters from engineering and construction-related 
services tend to be lower than the remaining quarters due to winter weather
conditions, particularly for projects in the Northeast and Midwest regions of 
the United States.

           Personnel
           -----------

At December 31, 1995, the Registrant employed approximately 3,100 persons, 
broken down by business unit as follows: 

        Buildings unit--470           Environmental unit--210
        Civil unit--1,210             Transportation unit--610
        Energy unit--570              Corporate staff--30

None of the Registrant's engineering employees are represented by labor unions;
however, its construction personnel are generally covered by collective 
bargaining agreements, as are certain BSSI employees in the Civil unit.  
Currently, the Registrant considers its relationships with labor unions to be 
good.

Item 2.    Properties
           ----------
The principal office of the Registrant is located at the Airport Office Park,
420 Rouser Road, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania 15108, at which approximately 
122,000 square feet of office space is leased for use by the Registrant's 
Buildings, Environmental and Transportation units and, to a much lesser extent,
by its corporate staff.  The Registrant owns a 75,000 square foot office 
building located in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, which is situated on a 175
acre site and utilized as the principal office of the Registrant's Civil unit.
  
The Registrant leases an aggregate of approximately 388,000 square feet of 
office-related floor space, including the principal office.  The space leased

in Coraopolis and New Brighton, Pennsylvania.

Item 3.        Legal Proceedings
               -----------------
The Registrant has been named as a defendant or co-defendant in legal 
proceedings wherein substantial damages are claimed.  Such proceedings are not
uncommon to the Registrant's business.  After consultations with counsel, 
management believes that the Registrant has recognized adequate provisions for
these proceedings and their ultimate resolutions will not have a material 
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or annual results of 
operations of the Registrant.  The most significant of these proceedings are
discussed below.

In 1987, a lawsuit was brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
Bronx County, by the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York against a
number of parties, including the Registrant and one of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, that asserts breach of contract and alleges damages of $13 
million.  The Registrant, which was not a party to the contract underlying the
lawsuit, contends that there is no jurisdiction with respect to the Registrant
and that it cannot be held liable for any conduct of the subsidiary.  Both the
Registrant and the subsidiary are contesting liability issues and have filed 
cross-claims and third-party claims against the other entities involved in the
project.  

In September 1991, the Registrant, through a newly formed subsidiary, Baker
Mellon Stuart Construction, Inc. ("BMSCI", formerly Mellon Stuart Construction,
Inc.), acquired certain assets and contracts from Federal Street Construction
Co., Inc. ("FSC"), which thereafter continued to perform services under various
contracts that were not acquired by BMSCI.  On May 11, 1992, a public body 
that had contracted with FSC in 1989 to construct a $38 million project filed
a lawsuit in state court in Illinois (County of Cook v. Mellon Stuart Company,
et al., Circuit Court, Illinois) against FSC and its surety alleging various
claims in connection with the contract.  This contract was not acquired by 
BMSCI, but the plaintiff also named the Registrant, BMSCI and another
subsidiary as defendants based upon a legal theory of successor liability by 
virtue of the sale of certain assets and contracts to BMSCI by FSC.  On 
November 15, 1995, a motion was granted ordering that the settlement agreement
between FSC and the public body was entered into in good faith, and the case
against the Registrant and its subsidiaries was dismissed without prejudice.

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

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Registrant's security holders
during the fourth quarter of 1995.
