DRAG TO SEE MORE

In 2005, Ian Barnes decided to launch Axiom as a sole proprietorship, with a vision to provide exceptional project planning and estimating services for the mining sector.

In early 2006, Axiom began its initial company growth. Doug Logan joined forces with Ian to work on the Alcan G3 expansion project, and continued to steer Axiom’s success for years to come.

In 2007, the ever-growing Axiom team landed their first international job in West Africa. We also started expanding our sector capabilities by partnering with our first power project in West Kimberley, Australia.

By 2010, our expertise had heightened to new levels. We began working on the George Fisher Mine expansion and several other large projects in various sectors.

We recognised and took the opportunity to establish our presence as a PMC leader and opened Axiom Project Services Papua New Guinea Ltd. Our team also managed the Gladstone Port Expansion project.

By 2012, our team had grown to 30+ consultants (owners and staff). We further extended our capabilities, partnering with CNG to deliver multiple gas projects.

Following a downturn in the mining industry around 2014, we had to downsize our team but managed to retain our key capabilities by having senior staff become business owners.

After years of steady growth, we recognised our increased capability to branch out into the solar industry and managed our first solar project in Central Queensland in 2017.

In 2019 we broadened our services to include Project Management & Construction Management and starting working in the water infrastrcutre sector, with Sunwater. Axiom also successfully provided substancial Transaction Management services for Stadiums Queensland.

In 2020, we commenced working with MACH Energy on the Rail 2 Project as the PMC, which was successfully completed in 2022.

In 2021, we opened our office in Orange, NSW, to allow more streamlined and integrated Project Management services for projects in regional NSW. We also commenced work with Gladstone Area Water Board (GAWB), who remains a valued client.

As we continue to refine and expand our capabilities, we are excited to announce that we have formed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Mintrex. This collaboration will allow us to broaden our core skill set, service abilities, office locations and sectors for years to come.
