HISTORY

       Civil based work has been at the core of operations of Abax Contracting Pty. Ltd throughout our 45 year history.  Established 1968 by John Baxter as a compressor hire company, Abax soon grew to offer a vast range of plant and equipment hire, general contracting and trenching services to Sydney’s ever-growing suburban fringe.

       Abax introduced an impressive fleet of Hydraulic Excavators into the market place in the early 1980s.  Toward the end of that decade Abax expanded operations to include extensive quarrying and landfill operations in Sydney’s West.  The early 1990’s saw the company move into demolition work, undertaking impressive works such as Harbourside shopping complex redevelopment at Darling Harbour.  

       To this day a modern fleet of earthmoving plant remains the centrepiece of Abax Contracting. The general business principles that have provided for stable company framework have not changed.  In essence, this philosophy has enabled Abax to work and grow with a multitude of clients in a wide variety of civil works. 

       Today and in the future, Abax is in a unique position where it can offer a complete range of services, which have been tailored through the completion of a broad range of projects over the company’s diverse history.  From basic operations such as trenching, to a polished presentation of a marketable block of land, Abax is able to envisage the whole picture without compromising on any aspect of a project, regardless of size.
