About Badger Daylighting
Badger Daylighting Ltd. is North America’s largest provider of non-destructive excavating services. Badger works for contractors and facility owners in a broad range of infrastructure industries. These market segments consist primarily of infrastructure projects in areas such as energy generation, electricity, and natural gas transmission networks, roads and highways, telecommunications, water and sewage treatment, and general municipal infrastructure. Customers in these segments typically operate near high concentrations of underground power, communication, water, gas, and sewer lines, particularly in large urban centers where safety and economic risks are high and therefore non-destructive excavation provides a safe alternative for certain customer excavation requirements. The Company’s key technology is the Badger Hydrovac, which is used primarily for safe excavation around critical infrastructure and in congested underground conditions. The Badger Hydrovac uses a pressurized water stream to liquefy the soil cover, which is then removed with a powerful vacuum system and deposited into a storage tank. Badger manufactures and designs its truck-mounted hydrovac units, allowing Badger to incorporate feedback from its hydrovac operators into its existing and future design and manufacturing processes.
