Daylighting

Daylighting is the uncovering and exposing of underground utilities and pipelines to the daylight. The Badger Hydrovac system is a non-destructive method of excavating. It uses pressurized water and a vacuum system to safely excavate around utilities and pipelines.

The Hydrovac Process

Badger's hydrovac system is a unique combination of systems - water, pressure and vacuum - combined in one self-contained, mobile unit. Water is pressurized and injected into the ground through a handheld wand to safely wash the soil from underground infrastructure. The resulting slurry is simultaneously vacuumed from the excavation through a large debris hose and temporarily stored in a debris tank.

BTU's Cut The Frost

In the dead of winter, BTU's are what make the Badger stand out from the competition. We are the only guys cutting through the frost.

Why is Non-Destructive Excavation Used?

This non-destructive type of excavating is quickly becoming recognized as a best practice when working in areas with underground utility congestion and frozen ground. The Badger Hydrovac virtually eliminates any chance of damaging utilities, which may often be inaccurately located and marked on the surface. All aspects of Badger's service and equipment are designed to enhance safety on the job site, increase productivity and raise the level of customer service.
