Badger Daylight

Badger Daylighting is the biggest excavation provider in all of North America. Badger Daylighting’s primary service is the use of its signature Badger Hydrovac excavator.

Rather than utilizing a backhoe like most excavation efforts, the Badger Hydrovac uses an advanced process that takes pressurized water and vacuum suction to get the job done. Most typically, Badger Daylighting assists contractors in the industrial, petroleum, engineering, construction, utility, and transportation industries. In addition to the usual excavation, Badger Daylighting also provides potholing, slot trenching, poles and piling holes, trench shoring, debris removal and cleanup, and maintenance and installation service pits.
