Saskatchewan Turnkey Program

Wondering what the Saskatchewan Turnkey Program is? It helps aid the design and construction of shallow underground utility services. And, it’s delivered by SaskPower, SaskEnergy, SaskTel and local cable providers.

The program:

• gives subdivision developers more control over their schedules
• provides timely, cost-effective and coordinated service to residential customers
• organizes power, gas, telephone and cable line installations in a common trench

To take part in the Saskatchewan Turnkey Program, developers must:

• know how to design and manage the construction of shallow underground utility facilities; and
• follow the Saskatchewan Turnkey Program standards and guidelines.

The following guidelines and forms will help developers through the process.
