Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd. (BDGI)

Overview

Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd., operating in Canada and the United States, specializes in providing non-destructive excavating and related services. Utilizing its proprietary Badger Hydrovac technology, the company offers a safer and precise alternative to traditional excavating methods. This technology employs a high-pressure water stream to liquefy soil, which is then extracted using a vacuum system and stored in a tank for disposal or management. Initially known as Badger Daylighting Ltd., the company transitioned to its current name in May 2021 to better reflect its broadened service offerings and strategic direction. Founded in 1992 and based in Calgary, Canada, Badger Infrastructure Solutions serves a diverse range of industries including construction, engineering, oil and gas, and utilities, providing them with innovative solutions for their excavation and utility management needs.
