Description

Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd., a company established in Calgary, Canada, in 1992, delivers non-destructive excavating and related support services throughout Canada and the United States. Formerly known as Badger Daylighting Ltd. until its name change in May 2021, the company's core offering revolves around its proprietary Badger Hydrovac technology. This advanced system precisely liquifies ground cover using a pressurized water stream, which is then efficiently removed via a vacuum system and stored in an integrated tank. The company provides an extensive portfolio of specialized solutions. These include daylighting for the visual verification of subterranean lines, creating test holes for directional drilling, subsurface utility engineering, and sacrificial anode installations, as well as facilitating pipeline and utility crossings. Badger also conducts slot trenching and excavates service repair pits vital for gas service tie-ins, electric cable fault repairs, water main and service repairs, and telecom splices. Furthermore, its services cover excavations for poles and pilings, including those for utilities, traffic signals, transmission lines, light standards, and signposts, along with pole removals. It also handles various piling needs like end-bearing, pilot holes for friction, and spread footing piles, in addition to well monitor installations. Badger offers comprehensive debris removal for frac tanks, road and box culverts, pipe-rammed casings, ballast and filter media, and material extraction from within structures. Specialized pipeline excavation supports crossings, tie-ins, hydro probing, utility conflict resolution, and oil/fuel spill remediation. Complementary services encompass anode installation, emergency response, and precise potholing. Beyond fieldwork, the company also designs, engineers, and supplies excavation shoring systems. As of December 31, 2021, Badger operated a fleet of 1,371 Badger hydrovacs. It serves a wide array of sectors, including aggregate, construction, engineering, industrial, mining, oil and gas, power generation, transportation, utility, and railway industries.
