CENTRAL TEXAS WEAT PRESENTS

Bridging the Gap Between Engineering and Public Works/Utility Operations

Presented by:
Matt Woodard, Public Works Director for City of Manor
and
Frank Phelan, P.E.,GBA

Imagine a project where engineering and operations work as one team, turning complex designs into practical, sustainable infrastructure. Bridging the Gap Between Engineering and Public Works/Utility Operations explores how collaboration transforms projects from technical exercises into operational successes. When engineering teams engage operations early through planning, scoping, equipment selection, and design, projects align with real-world needs. Involving operators in design reviews, inspections, and commissioning reduces transition pain and improves long-term performance. Regular meetings, clear communication, and accessibility build trust and accountability, ensuring smooth handoffs from bidding to warranty. By embedding operational perspectives throughout the lifecycle, organizations deliver infrastructure that is efficient, sustainable, and ready for the future.
