885.0. "Stocks that specialize in DAM repairs ?" by CSCMA::BALICH () Tue Jul 11 1995 10:35

    
    Folks,
    
    I saw last week one of those 20/20 shows, I think this one was called
    'Day One'   ... They had a story about DAMMS(sp?) in the US.
    
    THey say ALL (hundreds and hundreds of them) are in dire need of
    repair.  They say a gigantic problem is waiting to happen.  They showed
    a few of them with major problems and small water leaks.  They say
    villages and towns could go under if repairs are not done soon.
    
    I want to know if there is a company that specializes in repairing
    DAMMS ?   Do you think this could be a hit down the road say a couple
    of years ?
    
    Just a thought!!!

    I corrected the spelling of the note title.
    
    Offhand I'd say this is the sort of thing that would end up being
    contracted to a large company, one that would stand behind their work,
    so to speak. :-)
    
    This would mean companies like Fluor and Bechtel rather than the 
    "pure play" specialists you'd like for investment purposes.
    
    Anybody know of any pure plays?

    I'd have more confidence if they stood in *front* of their work :-]
