Direct peers

• Hydrodig: Hydrovac and industrial vacuum services provider serving utility, oil & gas, and industrial customers. Comparable to Brass on vacuum services, hydro excavation, and industrial cleaning offerings.
• Badger Daylighting: North America's largest provider of hydrovac excavation services, headquartered in Canada. Directly comparable to Brass on hydro excavation, vacuum truck services, and industrial cleaning — but at vastly greater scale and geographic footprint.
• Canadian Hydro-Vac (Hydro-Vac Holdings): Canadian hydrovac excavation service provider with similar equipment fleet and customer base of utilities and industrial clients. Directly competes with Brass in the Ontario/GTA hydro excavation market.
• NPL Construction (NPL Canada): Specialty utility infrastructure contractor for gas, electric, and telecom, with a Canadian subsidiary already a named Brass customer. Closest peer on utility installation, OSP construction, and directional drilling service lines.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Harbors: North American environmental and industrial services leader offering vacuum truck, industrial cleaning, and hazardous waste management — overlapping with Brass's industrial cleaning division but at much larger scale and broader geographic scope.
• Veolia North America: Global environmental services firm with industrial cleaning, waste management, and water/wastewater capabilities relevant to Brass's industrial cleaning and dredging/dewatering divisions. Operates as broad incumbent rather than niche specialist.
• Roto-Rooter (Industrial): Provides industrial and commercial drain cleaning, hydro jetting, and vacuum services with broad North American coverage. Comparable to Brass on confined space cleaning and high-pressure water blasting services.

Regional players

• PVS Contractors: Regional hydrovac and industrial services contractor operating in select US markets with a similar equipment-and-services model. Useful as a comparable for projecting how Brass could scale regionally.
