Source: On-Site Magazine "As the backbone of Canadian society, infrastructure plays a critical role in maintaining the quality of life that Canadians have come to enjoy. While, of late, there has been a spike in interest in constucting new roadways, mass transit systems, energy facilities, pipelines, and so forth, there's also a baseline need to maintain, replace and repair the existing structures that we need to move people and goods, and to stay safe and healthy in our homes and businesses. And despite recent increases in project counts and spending, infrastructure needs seem to always outpace spending."

The report contains details on each of the projects, including location, cost, project overview, estimated date of completion, and a list of the key companies involved with the project.

On Jan. 2, 2003, SaskEnergy launched the organization with the familiar "Call Before You Dig" messaging. "There were notification companies in other provinces like Ontario and Alberta. Companies that crossed over borders really saw the value in having a notification service in Saskatchewan, too," says Shawn Fairman, general manager, distribution customer services and vice-president of the new Sask 1st Call board of directors. "It made sense for SaskEnergy to be a part of it because we have alot of underground infrastructure and because safety is a core value for our company." Sask 1st Call enhances safety for people and businesses doing construction in Saskatchewan. They can request a line locate free of charge, either by calling a 1-800 phone number or submitting a request online, and within three business days any underground infrastructure will be marked using flags, stakes, or paint. If an area is marked, this is a clear signal to not dig in or obstruct the area. Likewise, Sask 1st Call is a beneficial service for subscribing companies that have underground facilities, helping ensure those facilities are protected.
Le 2 janvier 2003, la SaskEnergy a lancé sa campagne de prévention avec le message « Appelez avant de creuser ». « Il existe des entreprises de notification dans d'autres provinces comme l'Ontario et l'Alberta. Les entreprises qui ont traversé les frontières ont vraiment compris la nécessité d'avoir un centre de notification en Saskatchewan », a déclaré Shawn Fairman, directeur général, distribution et service à la clientèle, et vice-président du nouveau conseil d'administration du Sask 1st Call. « Il était logique que SaskEnergy en fasse partie puisque nous avons beaucoup d'infrastructures souterraines, et parce que la sécurité est une valeur fondamentale de notre entreprise. » Le Sask 1st Call améliore la sécurité des personnes et des entrepraises qui travaillent dans l'industrie de la construction en Saskatchewan. Elles peuvent demander une localisation de conduite gratuitement soit en appelant un numéro de téléphone 1-800 soit en soumettant une demande en ligne. Dans les trois jours ouvrables suivant cette demande, toute infrastructure souterraine sera marquée à l'aide de drapeaux, de piquets ou de peinture. Si une zone est marquée, il s'agit d'un signe clair que personne ne doit creuser ou obstruer la zone. De plus, le Sask 1st Call offre un service avantageux pur les entreprises membres qui ont des infrastructures souterraines en assurant la protection de ces infrastructures.
