WT played a pivotal role in the design phase of EST9101PH1 Project Phoenix, aimed at enhancing the Defence High-Frequency Communications System.

The project faced challenges due to the geographical diversity of sites and the complexity of land acquisitions.

As a subcontractor to the Design Services Contractor (DSC), Lucid, WT contributed significantly by providing cost confidence, which was instrumental in securing government approval in July 2023.

WT quantified the intricate requirements, which included refurbishing control buildings, upgrading vital services such as power and ICT, enhancing security, installing emergency generators, improving perimeter defenses, establishing new communication links, and decommissioning obsolete infrastructure.

WT’s contribution was vital for adhering to the stringent cost reporting and financial risk management standards demanded by Defence projects. Their comprehension of the project’s technical challenges ensured its successful navigation and execution.
