The Shaw Group Inc.:

We consent to the use of our reports dated October 29, 2009, with respect to the consolidated balance sheets of The Shaw Group Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2008, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2008, incorporated herein by reference. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective September 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.

Our report dated October 29, 2008 on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2008, expressed our opinion that The Shaw Group Inc. and subsidiaries did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2008 because of the effect of the material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains a statement that material weaknesses in project reporting of estimates of cost at completion on engineering, procurement, and construction on complex fixed-price contracts and accounting for income taxes have been identified and are included in management’s assessment in Item 9A(b) of the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
