Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd. (formerly Badger Daylighting Ltd.) is the largest provider of non-destructive excavating services in North America. The company's business model centers on its proprietary Badger Hydrovac technology, which it designs and manufactures in-house at its facility in Red Deer, Alberta. This specialized mobile equipment uses a pressurized water stream to liquefy soil, which is then removed by a powerful vacuum system, allowing for safe excavation in congested underground environments without damaging existing infrastructure. Badger's revenue is primarily generated from hydrovac services, including daylighting, potholing, trenching, debris removal, and utility pole installation. The company also offers complementary services such as sewer cleaning and inspection, infrastructure mapping, and disaster response. Geographically, Badger operates an extensive network of branches across the United States and Canada, with the U.S. market representing the majority of its revenue. The company serves a diverse customer base, including utility providers, telecommunications companies, industrial plants, and general commercial construction firms. Badger's competitive position is supported by its vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, its large and modern fleet of over 1,400 hydrovac units, and its established safety record in preventing costly utility strikes.
