Badger Daylighting Jobs

Badger Daylighting Ltd., now known as Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd., is North America's leading provider of non-destructive excavation services. Established in 1992 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the company specializes in hydrovac excavation. This method utilizes pressurized water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities and infrastructure.

The primary service offered by Badger is hydrovac excavation, which involves using a high-pressure water stream to liquefy soil. This allows for the safe and efficient removal of material around buried utilities. The technique minimizes the risk of damaging existing infrastructure compared to traditional mechanical excavation methods.

Applications of hydrovac excavation include daylighting (exposing underground utilities), potholing (creating test holes to locate utilities), trenching, and utility pole hole digging.

Industries Served

Badger's clientele spans various sectors, including oil and gas, energy, industrial, construction, transportation, and municipal industries.

Badger designs and manufactures its own hydrovac trucks, known as the Badger Hydrovac™. This vertical integration allows the company to incorporate feedback from its operators into the design and manufacturing processes. This continuous improvement boosts the safety, efficiency, and productivity of its equipment.
