Badger Daylighting / Badger Infrastructure Solutions

This business model centers on non-destructive hydro excavation, commonly known as daylighting, using a proprietary Hydrovac system that safely unearths buried utilities and assets without damaging surrounding infrastructure. Franchisees operate hydrovac trucks to serve a wide range of industries including construction, engineering, power generation, industrial plants, and municipal utilities. The service is valued for its safety compliance and ability to work in sensitive environments where mechanical excavation poses too great a risk.

Operators benefit from strong demand driven by aging infrastructure, utility expansion, and non-residential construction growth across North American markets. The parent company, a publicly traded Canadian firm, provides operational support, equipment manufacturing, and a proven technology platform.

Franchise units are geographically distributed to serve regional markets efficiently, with fleet dispatch managed centrally. The company plans to manufacture and deploy 50 to 60 new units annually, reflecting sustained growth ambitions.
