Certain bounded linear operators T on a complex Hilbert space \h which have 2-isometric liftings S on another space \ka \supset \h are being investigated. We refer also to a more special type of liftings, as well as to those which additionally meet the condition S^*S\h \subset \h. Furthermore we describe other types of dilations for T, which are close to 2-isometries. Among these we refer to expansive (concave) operators and also to Brownian unitary dilations. Different matrix representations for such operators are obtained, where matrix entries involve contractive operators.
