A Message From Our President, Brian McShane

With 40+ years of industry leadership, we deliver reliable dewatering any bypass pumping solutions backed by experience, integrity, and innovation

Since founding Northern Dewatering in 1984, my mission has been to deliver reliable, high-quality dewatering and bypass pumping solutions to the construction, mining, and municipal sectors. Drawing from over 16 years of experience with the nation’s largest dewatering contractor, I recognized the need for a company that prioritizes both technical excellence and customer service. Over the past four decades, we’ve grown from a regional service provider to a trusted partner on projects nationwide—from small wellpoint systems in Minnesota to managing flows exceeding 90 million gallons per day on the All-American Canal in California. Our success is rooted in the dedication and expertise of our team. Their commitment ensures that we consistently meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to innovation, safety, and excellence in every project we undertake.

Thank you for considering Northern Dewatering. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.​

Brian McShane Executive President, Northern Dewatering, Inc.
