Axiom Engineering Associates have grown successfully and consistently, and now run a global operation from offices in Stockton-on-Tees, England. From inspection and preventative maintenance, through to understanding failures or problems in the structure of assets, Axiom help clients achieve great results.
Combining expertise in mechanical and materials engineering along with a range of inspection and testing services, Axiom are uniquely positioned to provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of the condition of their assets.
Our Mission is to be Trusted Advisors and provide Technical Excellence to our clients and partners. We will provide our expertise when you need it..
We obtain the majority of our work through repeat business and referrals, most originally starting with a conversation between us and our (potential) Client about a problem with a project or piece of plant equipment they have.
Even if you're unsure whether we can help you, it is worth calling us to discuss the problem you are facing. We will either use our combined expertise to offer advice and suggest potential solutions or if it's not something that falls within our great range of services, we can almost always signpost to other Engineering Service providers who could be of a greater assistance.

Extending the life of an asset
Combining risk based inspection with advanced analytical techniques (FEA, Creep Life testing), you can predict the longevity of key structures, such as tanks, pressure vessels, pipework, pumps, boilers and others. This can assist you in planning capital investments and maximising returns from your assets.
