Back to Where It Started — Saft Underground LLC
Every company has a story, and ours was built underground, one job at a time.
More than 20 years ago, I was a 20-year-old working at Willows Tower in East St. Louis, learning lessons that would eventually become part of the foundation of Saft Underground LLC.
The work wasn't easy. We were rewiring an old railroad interlocking tower, hand-digging trenches because of the amount of existing underground wiring, working around active railroad infrastructure, and installing new signal equipment.
Going back to Willows Tower all these years later was a reminder of where our experience really comes from.
Long before there was Saft Underground LLC, there were jobs like this—jobs where you learned to respect what's underground, understand the consequences of a mistake, solve problems in difficult conditions, and make sure the work was done right before you walked away.
Technology has changed. Our equipment has changed. The size and scope of our projects have changed.
But our standard hasn't.
At Saft Underground, we still believe the work nobody sees after the dirt is put back is some of the most important work on the entire project.
Know what's underground.
Protect what's already there.
Do it safely.
And do it right the first time.
More than two decades later, we're still proud of where we came from—and we're still building on those same lessons every day.
