ANTIGO CONSTRUCTION, INC.
ANTIGO, WI

Company Profile The Antigo Construction Family of Companies does one thing very well – break concrete pavements. By manufacturing its own concrete breakers with continual design improvements Antigo has developed a fleet of several types of concrete breakers uniquely capable of performing the full range of fractured slab techniques in preparation for pavement overlays. These same concrete breakers are optimized for breaking for removal extremely thick airfield pavements and urban pavements in vibration sensitive areas. Of equal importance, the Antigo Construction Family of Companies encompasses a staff of equipment operators, support personnel and managers with unequalled experience who are dedicated to building and operating the very best concrete breakers and to providing the very best service to its customers. Antigo Construction, Inc. entered the USA concrete pavement rehabilitation business in 1982 with the purchase of a used Wirtgen CB7000 guillotine style concrete breaker. Antigo purchased five more Wirtgen concrete breakers over the next several years to keep up with the demand in the dual markets of 1) crack & seat concrete pavement in preparation for an asphalt overlay, and 2) break concrete pavement for removal and recycling. By 1988 Antigo realized that a more productive, easily maintained and economical concrete breaker was needed. Antigo accomplished this by creating an affiliated company, Badger State Highway Equipment, Inc., to manufacture a new type of guillotine breaker – the Badger Breaker®. Badger has manufactured 22 all-terrain breakers, the 8600 Badger Breaker® and 18 truck-mounted breakers, the T8600 Badger Breaker®, for Antigo’s use and a few early, international customers. The 8600 and T8600 have very similar breaking capabilities. Both incorporate an 8-foot (2.4m) wide, 6 to 7.5-ton (5.5 to 6.8 tonne) drop hammer with a variable drop height of 1 foot (0.3m) to over 8 feet (2.4m) which is ideally suited for a wide range of applications from cracking 12-feet (3.7m) wide pavement lanes to breaking 3-feet (0.9m) thick airfield runways. Since 1982 the Antigo Construction Family of Companies has used its many concrete breakers to complete 6,000 projects including 49 million square yards (41 million square meters) of rubblization, 87 million square yards (73 million square meters) of crack/break & seat, and 131 million square yards (109 million square meters) of break for removal on highways, streets, runways, taxiways, aprons, parking lots, industrial sites and interior building slabs.  Antigo's fleet of concrete breakers and its experienced crew of equipment operators and support personnel make it uniquely capable of providing a full range of concrete breaking services worldwide.
