What the project involved
DEFCOMMSTA Enoggera is part of the Defence communications network based at Gallipoli Barracks in the Brisbane suburb of Enoggera. The handover Procom supported delivered upgraded communications infrastructure, supporting electrical and HVAC works, and fit-for-purpose ICT facilities across the station. Procom compiled the program's O&M documentation in 1,861 manual sections — a compilation weighted heavily toward electrical, ICT, and security-restricted documentation rather than the building-services mix typical of a base accommodation project.
The handover challenge
Communications-station handovers carry two complications that don't appear on a standard base refresh. First, the asset mix skews sharply toward ICT cabling, racks, switching, and power-conditioning — disciplines that often slip out of the standard Defence O&M template because they look more like a data-centre fit-out than a facility build. Second, a portion of the documentation is security-classified: cable schedules, equipment lists, and commissioning records that can be shared with the EMOS contractor only in redacted or controlled-access form.
How Procom delivered
The project ran on a customised Defence template extended with ICT-specific discipline branches (active equipment, passive cabling, environmental conditioning, security systems). Subcontractor portals were issued by discipline; the review queue was structured so security-cleared reviewers handled the restricted material separately from the open-handover material. The final export produced two parallel manuals — a primary handover pack for the EMOS contractor and a controlled-access reference held by the Defence project officer.
- Discipline tree extended for ICT disciplines beyond the default Defence template.
- Access-controlled review queues for security-restricted documentation.
- Parallel manual exports (open handover + controlled reference).
- Audit trail per section retained for the lifetime of the handover record.
Outcomes
- 1,861 sections compiled across electrical, ICT, security, and base-build disciplines.
- Two-tier handover (open + controlled) produced from a single source tree.
- EMOS contractor onboarding completed without document-handover gaps.
What this proves
DEFCOMMSTA demonstrates Procom's flexibility on Defence projects where the discipline mix is not a standard base refresh. Communications stations, training simulators, fuel-and-storage facilities, and other specialist Defence infrastructure benefit from the same workflow but with a tailored discipline tree. See Defence services and the ERIK guide for how the framework adapts to specialist infrastructure.
