- Business
- Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd. is a leading North American provider of non-destructive excavation and specialized infrastructure services across Canada and the United States. The company utilizes its proprietary Badger Hydrovac™ technology, which employs a pressurized water stream to liquefy soil, subsequently removed by a powerful vacuum system and contained within a storage tank. This method is particularly valued for its precision and safety when working near critical underground infrastructure like utility lines. Badger's comprehensive service offerings extend beyond core hydrovac excavation to include daylighting for visual confirmation of buried utilities, trenching, service repair pits, and pole and piling hole excavation. They also provide debris removal, pipeline excavation, anode installation, emergency response, and potholing services, alongside designing and supplying excavation shoring systems. The company's unique vertical integration allows it to design and manufacture its hydrovac units at its Red Deer, Alberta facility, incorporating operator feedback into its equipment development. Serving a diverse range of sectors, Badger's clientele spans the aggregate, construction, engineering, industrial, mining, oil and gas, power generation, transportation, and utility industries, including specialized railway hydrovac services. The company has demonstrated consistent revenue growth, reporting $745.0 million for the year ended 2024, an increase of 9% from 2023. By the end of 2023, Badger operated a fleet of 1,534 non-destructive excavation units, with plans to expand this to between 1,710 and 1,760 units by the end of 2025. Headquartered in Calgary, Canada, Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd. was established in 1992 and adopted its current name in May 2021, having previously operated as Badger Daylighting Ltd. The company's strategic focus emphasizes leveraging its efficient platform for growth, aiming for enhanced EBITDA margins and increased asset utilization. Recent financial highlights include robust Q3 2025 revenue of $237.3 million, a 13% year-over-year increase, and adjusted EPS of $0.91, up 25% year-over-year.
