At SAK, safety is our top priority. From our top
management members to our on-site crews,
everyone at SAK recognizes that maintaining
safety is critical to your pipeline or tunneling
project’s overall success–and your satisfaction.
SAK’S STRATegy, ATTiTUDe,
KNowleDge APPRoACh
In keeping with SAK’s proactive attitude toward
safety, we make it a priority to develop an
appropriate and effective strategy for your
individual projects and needs. To ensure jobsite
safety, we work closely with you to implement a
comprehensive, site-specific safety program for
your project. SAK’s safety strategy is, of course,
built on knowledge. Although trenchless
technology is inherently safer than older methods
of pipeline rehabilitation and replacement,
learning how to effectively apply up-to-date
risk-reduction methods is still critical.
Safety training is emphasized at SAK on an
ongoing basis. Our management members,
team of safety experts and crews have logged
hundreds of hours in safety and awareness
training and programs. This enables SAK to offer
the broad experience and know-how necessary
to best address the safety concerns of individual
jobsites and on varying types of projects.

Among the safety programs SAK staff and
crews routinely participate in are the following:
• Confined Space Entry Training
• Drug and Alcohol Training
• Environmental Protection
• Fire Prevention
• First Aid/CPR
• Hazard Communication Program
• Hazardous Waste Operations and
Emergency Response Standards

• Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). With SAK’s
unique CIPP system, the company can
rehabilitate sewer pipes ranging from 6
inches to 96 inches in diameter. As an
exclusive licensed installer of Aqua-Pipe®,
SAK renews drinking water mains from 6
inches to 12 inches in diameter. In addition,
SAK’s “no-dig” CIPP approach means that
most damaged sewer and water pipes can be
rehabilitated quickly and cost-effectively,
with minimal disruption or inconvenience to
the surrounding community and environment.
• Large diameter tunneling. SAK Construction
has the expertise and equipment to tackle
tunnel construction in all types of ground
conditions and in sizes ranging from 48-inch
diameter up to 32-foot arch shape. SAK
management and personnel are well-versed
in the construction of soft-ground hand-mined
tunneling, drill-and-blast tunneling and tunnel
construction with both soft-ground and
hard-rock tunnel-boring machines of all types.
• Specialized capabilities. Repair, reconstruction,
expansion or installation of water, wastewater
and stormwater systems often requires a
variety of specialized capabilities. SAK provides
a wide range of services, including shotcreting,
large diameter sliplining, shaft excavation,
grouting, crack sealing and manhole and
related structure rehabilitation.

SAK was founded by a team of seasoned
experts in underground technology:
• Tom Kalishman, SAK Chairman, brings
years of experience from his time at
Insituform Mid-America as an operations
manager, general manager and regional
director, before serving on the board of
directors of Insituform Technologies Inc. from
1998 to 2005. His experiences in these roles
and in other successful business ventures
have helped to direct the focus of SAK on
client satisfaction and relationships built on
excellent communication and service.
• Bob Affholder, SAK Vice Chairman, built
both Affholder Inc. and Insituform
Mid-America into leaders in the tunneling
and pipeline rehabilitation markets. The
common theme with any of the successful
business ventures Bob has been a part of is
the delight he takes in seeing the people
working in those organizations become
successful.
• Jerry Shaw, SAK President, has a vast wealth
of underground contracting experience,
serving as a tunneling project manager for
Affholder Inc. from 1983 to 1987, and leading
the day-to-day tunneling operations of
Affholder Inc. from a $25 million business to a
$125 million business from 1987 to 2005.
Jerry leads SAK’s day-to-day operations,
sharing Bob’s and Tom’s great pride and
satisfaction in building an organization of
competent, talented people who want to
solve problems and meet client needs.
SAK’S PhiloSoPhy AND
MiSSioN
SAK was founded on the philosophy that
technical expertise—while vital—should never
be viewed as a substitute for excellent client
service. From the time SAK was first launched,
the company’s leaders have worked to build
an organization focused primarily on providing
outstanding client service based on superior
communication and a problem-solving approach
individualized to every client’s needs.
With that philosophy firmly in mind, SAK also
has been committed to achieving the size
necessary for purchasing power and economies
of scale, as well as the national stature that the
capabilities of its seasoned team of experts
warranted. As a result, SAK has successfully
established itself as something out of the
ordinary: “A local contractor with a national
presence,” as Tom Kalishman, SAK co-founder
and chairman, puts it.

At SAK, delivering quality means viewing client
needs holistically from start to finish. “Quality
is not only about trenchless technology

this perspective, we listen to our clients and
respond effectively to their individual needs in
meeting challenges at every stage of a project,”
says Charlie Kuhnmuench, SAK vice president-
business development.
“We recognize that providing quality services
starts with dedicated leaders and experienced
personnel. SAK’s management team includes
many of the most well-known names in the
industry, and supervisory personnel are highly
trained and experienced,” Kuhnmuench says.
“We’re committed to building our reputation
on the fact that our clients deserve to have
the best people working for them on critical
projects.”
SAK provides support at all stages of a project.
Whether clients need assistance in educating
key decision-makers about needed construction

At SAK, safety is our top priority. From our top

In keeping with SAK’s proactive attitude toward
safety, we make it a priority to develop an
appropriate and effective strategy for your
individual projects and needs. To ensure jobsite
safety, we work closely with you to implement a
comprehensive, site-specific safety program for

learning how to effectively apply up-to-date
risk-reduction methods is still critical.
Safety training is emphasized at SAK on an

training and programs. This enables SAK to offer
the broad experience and know-how necessary
