Our Story
Built from RealJobsite Experience
North East Shoring was built from real jobsite experience, not from behind a desk. In 1980, Dave Pateuk entered the excavation industry, operating trucks, loaders, excavators, and dozers while learning what it takes to keep projects moving safely and profitably.
Along the way, he recognized that trench safety equipment should do more than protect workers — it should help contractors work more efficiently and get more done. That hands-on experience led to the formation of North East Shoring in 1996, with a focus on providing practical solutions backed by real-world construction knowledge.
