Centerm Expansion Project – Testimonial

“Axis Technical Services has been an integral part of our success on the Centerm Expansion Project and South Shore Access Project. One of the most difficult parts of our project has been working on a live container terminal while maintaining its operations and Axis has risen to the occasion multiple times to overcome various challenges. Whether it be pushing towards an aggressive milestone date, taking advantage of openings in work areas because of last minute changes to the terminal’s operations, or coming up with innovative ways to maintain networks during construction phasing, the team at Axis’ commitment to the project’s success and “can do” attitude have been greatly appreciated by CXP.

I would also like to acknowledge their field technicians whom constantly displayed professionalism and pride in their work throughout this entire project; It was a pleasure getting to work with them. We are incredibly happy to have had the Axis team on our side and I look forward to the next opportunity to work with them again in the future!”
