The design and build projects involved the JKR bridges and council bridges, many of which were temporary and semi-permanent in nature. They were constructed and assembled during the colonial era and were mostly scattered across the rural areas serving the local communities.

The projects which commenced in 1997 also presented a major logistical challenge back in the day because road access to a number of the remote rural construction sites was severely limited. The company overcame this challenge by coming up with new and efficient approaches relying on river transport to mobilise all machineries, equipment, and materials. The project management also enabled Titanium to deliver all projects ahead of time.

As the design and build contractor for the Sarawak government for the last 20 years, Titanium has replaced over 600 temporary JKR bridges and council bridges with permanent concrete bridges and culverts across the state, covering the Kuching, Samarahan, Betong, Sri Aman, Bintulu, Sarikei, Sibu, Mukah, Kapit, Betong, Miri and Limbang divisions. These projects have contributed tremendously towards the modernization of existing road networks, commercial and public accessibility and connectivity of suburban as well as rural localities, and socio-economic development in Sarawak.

Over this period, Titanium has also created many employment opportunities where we have employed more than 200 professionals to deliver these projects. Many of them are graduates from local universities and institutions of learning which we have continued working closely with, such as Swinburne University, UCTS, Curtin and Unimas, to provide training and internship programs to the students.
