About

Badger Daylighting ™ is the industry leader in non-destructive hydro-excavation (hydrovac) services. Since 1992, Badger has been innovating cutting-edge technology and providing services to a diverse customer base including oil and gas, energy, industrial, construction, transportation and other markets, as well as numerous government agencies within Canada and the United States. The Badger Hydrovac System is a recognized leader in the non-destructive and non-mechanical excavation category. We are renowned industry-wide for safety, expertise and cost effectiveness when working in isolated locations or built-up areas with buildings, facilities and infrastructure already in place. We are excavation specialists when it comes to exposing (daylighting) around pre-existing buried critical infrastructure. Badger Daylighting's mobile hydrovac excavation systems offer many advantages compared to traditional hydraulic powered trenching and excavation machines. Our excavator systems use water (or air) and vacuum technology to quickly expose critical infrastructure, or to open the ground for future work. Digging trenches using general excavation techniques also poses potential safety hazards when excavating around buried gas lines and hydro utilities. The Badger Hydrovac provides a safe and non-destructive alternative to conventional backhoes or other mechanical means.
