Badger Income Fund is North America's largest provider of non-destructive excavating and slot trenching services. Badger traditionally works for contractors and facility owners in the utility, transportation, industrial, engineering, construction and petroleum industries. Our key technology is the Badger Hydrovac excavator which is used primarily for safely digging trenches in congested grounds and challenging conditions. Unlike traditional backhoe excavation, the Badger Hydrovac uses a pressurized water stream to liquefy the soil cover, which is then removed with a powerful vacuum excavation system and deposited into a storage tank. Badger manufactures its truck-mounted hydrovac units.
Badger Income Fund's business model involves the provision of services through two distinct entities:
- the Operating Partners (franchisees in the United States and agents in Canada), and Badger Corporate. Badger Corporate works with its Operating Partners to provide hydrovac service to the end user. In this partnership, Badger provides the expertise, the trucks, and North American marketing and administration support. The Operating Partners deliver the service by operating the equipment and developing their local markets. All work is invoiced by Badger and then shared with the Operating Partner based upon a revenue sharing formula.
- In certain locations Badger has established corporate managed operations to market and deliver the service in the local area.
