This expertise positions us at the forefront of intelligent, connected infrastructure development across Australia. Our acquisition of Titan ICT has strengthened our mission‑critical capabilities, adding deep expertise in mining, resources, and energy industries. This expansion enables us to deploy robust solutions across Australia’s most demanding operational environments. Discover more through BAI360, our virtual tour platform.
