About Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd.
Badger 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
and in general commercial construction. Badger’s customers
typically operate near high concentrations of underground power,
communication, water, gas and sewer lines, where safety and
economic risks are high and where non-destructive excavation
provides a safe alternative for certain customer excavation
requirements.
The Company’s key technology is the Badger
HydrovacTM, which is used primarily for safe excavation around
critical infrastructure and in congested underground conditions.
The Badger Hydrovac uses a pressurized water stream to liquify the
soil cover, which is then removed with a powerful vacuum system and
deposited into a storage tank. To complement the Badger Hydrovac,
the Company introduced the Badger AirvacTM(1), in late 2021. The
Badger Airvac is also used for safe excavation but utilizes
compressed air instead of water to loosen the cover soil before
vacuuming and depositing excavation materials into a storage tank.
Badger is unique in the non-destructive excavation industry because
it designs and manufactures all of its hydrovac and airvac units at
its plant in Red Deer Alberta, which has an annual production
capacity of more than 350 hydrovac and airvac units.
