Our Markets

Utility

Powering reliability starts with visibility. WGI delivers a system-wide view of utility networks through high-resolution remote sensing, LiDAR point clouds, and geospatial analytics. By extracting actionable intelligence from transmission corridors and distribution assets, we enable utilities to detect encroachments, assess risk, and optimize maintenance cycles. The result is a more resilient grid—driven by data that’s current, precise, and operationally relevant.

Industrial

In complex environments, clarity drives performance. WGI delivers high-precision spatial intelligence for industrial sites using UAV-based imaging, LiDAR scanning, and advanced geospatial modeling. From volumetric analysis to asset mapping and site monitoring, our solutions provide real-time awareness and actionable insight—helping operators improve efficiency, reduce risk, and manage operations at scale.

Communities & Cities

Stronger communities start with smarter decisions. WGI equips local and regional governments with geospatial insight derived from aerial imagery, LiDAR, and 3D reality capture. Through digital twins, terrain modeling, and spatial analysis, we help communities visualize growth, assess infrastructure, and plan with confidence. The outcome is more connected, data-driven decision-making that supports long-term resilience and sustainability.

Federal

Mission success demands total situational awareness. WGI provides federal agencies with advanced remote sensing solutions, including multi-source data fusion, LiDAR-derived elevation models, and high-accuracy photogrammetry. These datasets are transformed into geospatial intelligence that supports mission planning, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure oversight—delivering trusted insight in complex and dynamic environments.

Energy

Energy infrastructure demands precision at every level. WGI leverages remote sensing technologies—including LiDAR, hyperspectral imagery, and geospatial analytics—to support the full lifecycle of energy assets. From siting and routing to inspection and monitoring, we deliver data-driven insight that helps clients evaluate conditions, manage corridors, and maintain reliable, efficient energy systems.

Transportation

Every mile matters. Every decision counts. WGI supports transportation agencies with corridor mapping, mobile LiDAR, and photogrammetric data extraction that deliver highly accurate roadway and asset inventories. By integrating these datasets into GIS and asset management systems, we provide the intelligence needed to assess condition, prioritize investment, and improve safety across the network.
