About Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd.
Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd. (TSX:BDGI)
is North America’s largest provider of non-destructive excavating
services. Badger works for contractors and facility owners in a
broad range of infrastructure industries. These market segments
consist primarily of infrastructure projects in areas such as
energy generation, electricity and natural gas transmission
networks, roads and highways, telecommunications, water and sewage
treatment and general municipal infrastructure. Customers in these
segments typically operate near high concentrations of underground
power, communication, water, gas and sewer lines, particularly in
large urban centres where safety and economic risks are high and
therefore non-destructive excavation provides a safe alternative
for certain customer excavation requirements. The Company’s key
technology is the Badger HydrovacTM, which is used primarily for
safe excavation around critical infrastructure and in congested
underground conditions. The Badger Hydrovac uses a pressurized
water stream to liquefy the soil cover, which is then removed with
a powerful vacuum system and deposited into a storage tank. Badger
manufactures and designs its truck-mounted hydrovac units, giving
Badger the opportunity to incorporate feedback from its hydrovac
operators into its existing and future design and manufacturing
processes.
