In June 2015 a jury decision entered a verdict of approximately USD $13.7 million in favor of the former franchisee and his franchise against the subsidiary of Badger. Badger accrued a total of USD $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 to reflect the jury award plus an estimate of legal costs and interest in connection to this matter.  

Badger is North America’s largest provider of non-destructive excavating services. Badger traditionally works for contractors and facility owners in the utility and petroleum industries. Our key technology is the Badger Hydrovac, which is used primarily for safe digging in congested grounds and challenging 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 its truck-mounted hydrovac units.
