ATCO LTD. $75 - Toronto symbol ACO

ATCO LTD. $75 (www.atco.com) has won a contract to design and build a noise-control barrier around a natural-gas-fired power plant in Texas. This barrier will shield nearby residential neighbourhoods from low-frequency sounds that rattle doors and windows. The company did not say how much the contract is worth or when it will complete the project. However, demand for these types of systems should keep rising as growing suburbs place more homes closer to industrial areas. Best Buy.
